Overview

The Fund continues to reflect the founder's wishes by supporting activities which align with his original priorities, whilst responding to current issues.

As such they appear to have redefined their funding areas as follows:

  • Intercommunity dialogue
  • Refugee and asylum seekers
  • International
  • Supporting disadvantaged young people in Southwark
