Introduction

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Childhood Trust launched its own Champions for Children matched-funding campaign in 2020 to support vulnerable children and young people living in poverty across London. Due to its success, The Childhood Trust repeated the campaign in 2021 and it will be returning this summer.

The campaign will raise unrestricted funds for charities delivering projects across London. We're open to all applications that meet our criteria. To be eligible, your charity must be:

  • Working with children and young people living in Poverty in London.
  • A UK-registered charity with at least one year of filed accounts and an annual income of at least £25,000 (as per last filed accounts).
  • Registered on theBigGive.org.uk (free to register).
  • Able to raise total campaign funds between £4,000 and £100,000.
