Our Impact

Making a difference together

Alleviating the impact of child poverty in London underpins our mission and vision at The Childhood Trust – a purpose shared wholeheartedly by our team and trustees, as well as our charity partners and supporters.

Understanding the impact that we create together, through monitoring and evaluation, ensures that our projects reach and support children facing disadvantage as effectively as possible.

We monitor and evaluate the outcomes and impact of our direct community outreach programme and the projects we fund, delivered by our charity partners across the city. We are committed to capturing and communicating our collective impact to better serve the children that we and our charity partners work with, following the guidance of our Prepared for Life impact strategy and four impact goals.

No single organisation can eradicate child poverty. That’s why collaboration is the lifeblood of our organisation. We partner with corporate organisations, community centres, community groups and charities with a shared vision – ensure every child has a healthy, happy and safe childhood, where they are prepared for life, breaking cycles of inequity. 

Please read our impact report, demonstrating our work to reach more than 350,000 children living in poverty in London. 

With your collaboration, we can be there for children and young people, dismantle barriers, break cycles of inequity and help ensure they are prepared for life.
