WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
Over 30% of children in Croydon live in poverty, and Croydon remains one of the most deprived boroughs in London. (Source: End Child Poverty, Child Poverty Statistics 2025). We strive to ensure that no child is left behind. We support vulnerable children, young people and families in Croydon through practical help, early intervention, trusted partnerships and projects that build confidence, self-esteem, wellbeing and access to education. When children, young people and families are offered the right support, disadvantage does not need to continue through generations. Your donation can help us give vulnerable local children more stable support, more positive opportunities and a better chance to thrive.
