John Lyon's Charity
John Lyon’s Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 who live in nine boroughs in North and West London: Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Kensington & Chelsea and the Cities of London and Westminster.
We fund a number of Young Harrow's members to deliver projects in Harrow to support children and young people.
Supporting the Arts 2024
Supporting the Arts in Harrow Funding Programme wants to empower children and young people not currently involved in performing arts, granting them the voice and influence to shape local arts provision. Thanks to the generous support from John Lyon's Charity and Harrow School, in collaboration with Voluntary Action Harrow (VAH) networks and the Harrow Culture Forum, the vision of this second round of funding is to engage children and young people in Harrow in arts and culture.

Our Vision and Mission
The Charity’s grant-giving is guided by a set of values and principles that underpin the work that we do.
- We believe in transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow and develop that would not otherwise exist without our contribution.
- We will seek to promote and support partnerships and collaboration that can have a sustainable impact on the aspirations of children and young people.
- We will not shy away from taking informed risks to support projects and organisations that pioneer new initiatives and ideas.
- We will exercise our role as an independent funder to share the knowledge from our work and seek to influence public policy for the benefit of the voluntary sector to ensure it is valued.
