Community Foundation

Community Foundation is a UK registered non profit organisation supporting young people in inner city areas to change their lives by improving their conditions and creating opportunities for them to reach their full potential. Community Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life of marginalised and hard to reach communities living in areas of multiple deprivation by setting up initiatives and supporting projects to develop communities to help themselves. ​ The concept of helping others to help themselves is far from new. It was exemplified in ancient times in the Chinese proverb: “Give a (person) a fish and (they) will eat for a day. Teach (them) how to fish and (they) will eat for a lifetime.” Ancient it may be, but it is as true today as ever. Our work strands: encourage civic participation of marginalised and hard to reach young people and provide education and training to build capacity of individuals to improve themselves and their community. Develop projects and services to address underlining issues of social exclusion, homelessness, health inequality, unemployment and under achievement amongst young people. develop targeted provisions to improve community safety, prevent anti social behaviour, domestic violence, drug/alcohol abuse and improve community cohesion and tolerance within marginalised and hard to reach communities. Provide a range of social, education and recreational services for hard to reach communities.
