WALCOT FOUNDATION

Who they support

We exist for the 'relief of poverty' in Lambeth. We do this by making grants both directly to individuals and to organisations for the work they do with individuals We mostly focus on those under 30 years of age (there are exceptions) What we fund has a purpose: to improve the whole-life prospects of our grantees We don't give hand-outs but hand-ups. We tackle poverty by creating opportunity

Grant criteria

We aim to change lives We are a grant-making charitable foundation operating in Lambeth, London. We help make change happen for those affected by modern day poverty and disadvantage. Over the ten years to March 2022 we made 3,547 grants totalling £20,570,159. Through our grant-making we create opportunities and possibilities. Our approach is not to give a hand-out but a hand-up.

Grant details

Top Priorities Directly support the academic achievement of pupils, particularly projects that will help close the attainment gap between pupil premium pupils and their peers. Support young people (under 30) into employment – priority will go to projects that are able to offer routes into secure employment at London Living Wage level and/or working with young people who are furthest from the labour market. Maximising access to free, independent advice from accredited sources, particularly in the fields of debt, housing and employment rights. Subsidiary Priorities To address student (re-)engagement with school, particularly in transition years and for students at risk of exclusion. Early intervention projects that address the mental health needs of our target pupil groups where it is clear they cannot be funded by school or state.

23/03/2023	£8,400 £231,735	UNIVERSIFY EDUCATION	The programme includes two university residentials and monthly 1:1 coaching for low-income Lambeth resident pupils, starting towards the end of Year 10 and working with them through to the end of Year 11. The aim is that students leave the programme with the skills, knowledge, grades, and self-belief to achieve their potential and move out of disadvantage; they can make more informed decisions about their future and are equipped with the grades to fulfil these decisions. The project will partner with Lambeths secondary schools for a year-long programme that will include a week-long summer residential at Jesus College, University of Oxford, followed by a Spring residential, also at Jesus College, which will focus on GCSE revision. Participants will receive online, monthly, one-to-one coaching with trained Universify volunteers, starting on the summer programme and running up to the completion of their GCSEs in July. Volunteers are current or recent university graduates. The Lambeth schools currently applying to the programme on behalf of students are Trinity Academy, Lambeth Academy, The Norwood School and St Martins-in-the-Fields High School.

Nethercott Farm offers children from urban areas (such as Ashmole) a unique opportunity to live and work together for a week on a real farm in the heart of the countryside. We feel that current PPG pupils have the right to this opportunity, hence our application. The cost per child is £300 each which is reduced to £150 for pupil premium families.

16/11/2022	£50,000 £499,173	NORWOOD AND BRIXTON FOODBANK	Foodbanks would like to have the ability to supplement the food packages with emergency gas/electricity payments or supermarket vouchers. These would typically be £50 per household but the value may vary on the need and size of household. We are recommending a grant of £50,000 that would be made to Norwood and Brixton Foodbank who would administer the grant but these funds could be accessed across the four Lambeth foodbanks (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Clapham Park, Brixton/Norwood) who now work in close partnership as a result of the Covid pandemic. 100% of the grant would be used for vouchers as the administration would be carried out through existing foodbank structures. This grant would be split into two payments with the second instalment released once the initial instalments? funds are nearing depletion.

Pupils will have known additional vulnerability (eg poor housing, previous social care involvement) and will not have an education and health care plan. The Health Mentor works with pupils on their learning behaviours with the aim that they develop good attitudes towards their learning and know that they can achieve what is asked of them. The aim of the mentoring sessions is to develop resilience, perseverance, the learning of new information, problem-solving, teamwork, taking responsibility and developing healthy friendships.
24/05/2022	£75,000	MINDHEART CREATIVE THERAPIES CIC	Funding for the continuation of Mindheart's creative therapy intervention in Dunraven Primary, Dunraven Secondary, Clapham Manor and one other school (to be confirmed but likely to be Harris Clapham or Elmgreen). The therapeutic work will be a mix of 1:1 therapy and small groups focusing on pupil premium pupils. Each year it is expected a minimum of 7 high needs pupils will access at least 20x1 hour sessions (2 terms of support) and 7 more will access 10x 1-hour sessions (1 term of support) in each school, supporting at least 56 pupils across the 4 schools in total. Sessions could involve indirect play, art, music or traditional talking therapy techniques with the aim of building resilience, developing positive classroom and social behaviour, improving school participation and ultimately reducing school disengagement and exclusion within our target group.
24/05/2022	£65,000	ST GILES TRUST	St Giles a national social justice charity based in Camberwell with a focus on helping individuals facing multiple and complex disadvantages. Their 'SOS' project employs ex-gang members to support those at risk of gangs in the community and SOS+ is an extension of this work in schools. The project aims to de-glamorise gang culture and expose the realities of crime and violence and would create an embedded SOS+ mentor post within Bishop Thomas Grant School. This mentor will work across all years and offer a variety of interventions, including intensive mentoring for those at the greatest risk, shorter group work programmes for those considered medium risk, whole year group assemblies, mediation, trips out and separate parents and teachers awareness-raising events. Issues such as weapons awareness, grooming, county lines, child sexual exploitation, joint enterprise and online safety will be covered with success measured both in terms of lowing the risk of gang involvement/exploitation and improving school engagement.
24/05/2022	£57,584 £371,791	THE CHILDREN'S LITERACY CHARITY	The Children's Literacy Chairty (CLC) is requesting funding toward a dedicated 'Literacy Lab' in both Heathbrook and Julian's Primaries. In total the project will create 12 Lab places within each school, helping up to 36 children with literacy support sessions delivered by senior literacy tutors per year. Sessions are 45 mins each, delivered twice per week in a dedicated space within the school and focus on catching up children who are up to 24 months behind their age expected literacy levels in reading, reading comprehension, writing, speaking and listening. It is expected that around half of the children taking part will 'graduate' the programme each year having closed (or significantly narrowed) the gap to their peers. Support and engagement with parents are also built into the programme. The project would be approximately equally funded via school contributions, Walcot and other Trusts and Foundations and at least 40% of places would be guaranteed for pupil premium pupils, although the number of children from low-income families taking part is likely to be much higher.
24/05/2022	£27,328	STEP NOW GLOBAL CIC	Inspire to Aspire is a 12-week programme of group sessions, 1:1 mentoring, work experience and 'day in the life' experiences aimed at supporting the most disengaged year 10 and 11 pupils to achieve their full education and employment potential. The year 1 programme will work with pupils from City Heights and Lambeth Academy secondary schools. 20 pupils from each school, selected for being at the greatest risk of disengagement/exclusion, will be invited to take part in the 12-week, 1.5 hours per week, programme. The programme aims to shift their mentality from a fixed to a growth mindset, and provide them with knowledge, experience and skills within careers, financial literacy, relationships and health.
24/05/2022	£165,506 £1,143,015	POWER2	The Advance Programme is a flexible support intervention that is responsive to individual needs.

Development plans include using relationships with colleges and universities in London to develop 'hubs' where the coordinator can meet students face to face, development of workshops designed and delivered as a series to provide more comprehensive support in key areas such as employability, mental health and mindset and digital skills, professional mentoring opportunities and group meet-ups and conference-style events in academic holidays.
24/05/2022	£25,000 £161,432	OPTIONS 4 CHANGE	Continuation funding for the Options 4 Change (O4C) Family Welfare Officer, who is able to provide specialist and intensive support to the families of children who are disengaged, or at risk of becoming disengaged, from education. The Family Welfare Officer takes referrals from the O4C Educational Sustainment Team (currently funded via the National Lottery to work in 3 Lambeth primary schools) as well as from community partners and via O4C's own drop-in surgery based in Streatham. The focus of the work is to target families with school-age children and tackle the underlying causes of their child's poor engagement with education (often housing, financial insecurity, relationships, legal issues). The project provides 1:1 support and advocacy for parents, workshops (for both parents and children) and the opportunity for children to access mentors and peer support.
24/05/2022	£25,000	REAY PRIMARY SCHOOL	Reay Primary School propose to screen all disadvantaged pupils in Nursery and Reception and develop the programme of support and training beyond the Early Years. Using this information Reay would offer targeted speech and language therapy support to individuals and small groups. This would be delivered by a trained Speech and Language Therapist (who would be employed 2.5 days per week). They would also support pupils moving into Year 1 who also require support. The SALT would be able to offer specialist training to all adults in school who work across different year groups. Support and training would also be offered to parents to enable them to support their children at home.
24/05/2022	£15,752	STOCKWELL PRIMARY SCHOOL	The project offers Art Psychotherapy (delivered by an Art Psychotherapist) and counselling and outreach family support (delivered by NOPA). Pupils will be identified by school staff as showing particular signs of distress, anxiety, low self-esteem and/or disengagement with school and peers. To increase the effectiveness of the psychotherapy and counselling services, the school wants to connect and support the families of these children through an outreach worker. The NOPA outreach worker will provide practical and emotional support to parents, with the aim that this improves whole-family health and the well-being and attainment of pupils at the school.
24/05/2022	£14,000	ARCHBISHOP SUMNER C.E. PRIMARY SCHOOL	Archbishop Sumner (ABS) Primary school is requesting funding for a second child psychotherapist who will provide talking, creative, play and drama therapy to pupils experiencing a range of mental health difficulties affecting their performance at school. This funding will mean a therapist will be onsite 4 days a week, working with up to 47 children a year (at least 33 of whom will be in the Walcot target group), with the school providing over 50% match funding. It is expected that therapy will help prevent the educational attainment gap from increasing for pupil premium children that are experiencing social, emotional and mental health difficulties and progress against this will be measured via strength and difficulties questionnaires (SDQ) completed by pupils, parents and teachers as well as by attendance and behavioral data collected by the school.
18/05/2022	£6,750 £148,548	SPEECH BUBBLES CIO	Speech Bubbles is an in-school drama intervention that supports pupils in Key Stage1 referred with a communication need. Referred pupils attend a weekly session with a specially trained drama practitioner and a member of the school support staff. The pupils participate in a range of drama games and activities that promote creative communication, playing with verbal and non-verbal communication, telling each other stories, and acting out them out. The pupils practice listening, taking turns and sharing their ideas. The programme aims to benefit children?s communication, confidence, and social interaction. As a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Speech Bubbles has increased the training for drama practitioners who deliver the programme, preparing them to work with children who may display higher levels of anxiety or whose social interaction may have been adversely affected. The sessions are designed to lower the anxiety of children with communication needs and build confidence. This project will support the Speech Bubble project at Henry Cavendish and Rosendale Primary Schools. There will be the main programme and a Covid-19 recovery programme aimed at supporting pupils with communication needs resulting from Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. In addition, parents and carers are invited to join in with at least one session during the programme.
05/05/2022	£9,860	JESSOP PRIMARY SCHOOL	An expert literacy and maths consultant from Access to Literacy will work 1:1 with targeted pupil premium pupils who display difficulties in literacy and maths (dyscalculia) and who need a thorough diagnosis and individual support. Selected pupils are not achieving what they could do academically and are also often displaying distress at school including lack of engagement in lessons, poor behaviour, poor attendance, withdrawal from peers etc. School staff will be supported to identify when a child has a literacy and/or maths difficulty and learn how to better support them in the classroom. The current provision is focused on KS2 pupils, however, the school has identified a wider need and wants to extend provision to pupils in KS1.
29/04/2022	£1,300	REAY PRIMARY SCHOOL	The children will be spending 3 days away from home as a celebration of their time at Reay. The experiences will create lifelong memories and increase independence ready for the transition to secondary school. They will do climbing, abseiling, archery as well as beach activities. Some of our children have never been outside of London before and some haven't spent a night away from home. Children have been fundraising with cake sales and will be doing a sponsored run to help with costs.
28/04/2022	£15,000	THE MICHAEL TIPPETT SCHOOL	We want to focus on the mental well-being of our pupils. As a complex needs SEND school our pupils are more likely to suffer mental ill-health and many of them have been particularly affected by the pandemic as they already were an often isolated and vulnerable group. We will be using the grant for protective measures. This would include training staff in mindfulness and the training to teach mindfulness, benefiting staff and pupils. We would employ a music teacher to support pupil?s expression, especially as many of our pupils are non-verbal and this allows them to express themselves in a responsive environment. We start holding mental well-being weeks and the grant would enable us to develop them throughout the year. All this would enable the pupils to express themselves through non-verbal methods and regulate themselves better, improving their well-being. Alongside the protective features we also want to support pupils who we consider may need more intervention. This would entail employing some creative therapists such as movement therapy, as these have been shown to be particularly effective for SEND students. We would also train a mental well-being champions in Mental Health First Aid.
28/04/2022	£900	CORPUS CHRISTI R C PRIMARY SCHOOL	The residential trip enables the year 6 children to build confidence through a range of organised activities. It helps solidify friendships as they look towards transferring to secondary school and equips them to build resilience in unknown circumstances. For many it will be the first time away from home and it may be a rare opportunity for them to experience a holiday.

27/04/2022	£30,000	OASIS ACADEMY SOUTH BANK	As a school with limited play space and in a highly polluted area, we plan to use £5,000 in the first year of the grant to introduce small trees, plants and shrubbery to our outside spaces to improve air quality, reduce pollution and create more calm and attractive outside spaces for our young people to improve their wellbeing. We also plan to continue our membership with Future Men, a mentoring programme supporting the mental health of our boys, a particularly concerning group from both national and local statistics. The cost of this is £9,410.08 (with 20% subsidised) secured by Future Men. Assuming the continued success of this programme within the school, we hope to then continue this for a second year at the same cost. We are hoping to be able to convert some further space within the school for play spaces and plan to use the remaining £5,000 in the second year to again, make these spaces as green as possible, improving both air quality and ambience for our young people.
27/04/2022	£30,000	ARK EVELYN GRACE ACADEMY	Project Title: Developing whole school Mental Health Provision Outline of Project: There is recognition that the pandemic has had a significant impact on student mental health, especially on students from poor /deprived families. There are issues on whether teachers have the necessary training to address student mental health concerns or even have the tools to detect danger signs and how to deal with their own emotion when a critical incident occurs. The aim of the project is to raise staff and student awareness of mental health and its potentially devastating impact. A further aim is for staff to realise that addressing student mental health is a whole school priority. As part of the project, we aim to create Mental Health/Wellbeing Ambassadors from all year groups and provide them with the necessary training. The grant will be used to pay for a Place-2-Be counsellor for the academic year 2022/23 and we will add the necessary funds to secure this position. Place-2-be costs more than the £30K grant awarded. We have secured the services of an Educational Psychologist (EP) for the year 2022/23 and we will use our EP?s input to ascertain whether adjustments should be made to the Strategic Plan for our whole school mental health provision. EPs are trained to look at systems of provision within an educational context.

27/04/2022	£30,000	FENSTANTON PRIMARY SCHOOL	We would use the funding to target mental health and childhood obesity. We would purchase art supplies which key staff would be able to use when working with children to support their wellbeing e.g. through Drawing and Talking sessions and work with ELSAs. Funding would also be used to support teachers'/ staff mental health. This need was identified via a recent staff survey. Funding would be used to offer group supervision sessions to staff on a half termly basis, (or more often if this is deemed necessary). Staff would be able to reflect on an aspect/s of their work/ support for pupils and problem- solve and find solutions as a team. This would empower staff to share their knowledge and experience and contribute their ideas in a supportive, nurturing environment. Funding would also be used to give staff access to physical activity/ exercise opportunities after work such as HIT or yoga or team games such as netball (or sport/ activity based on staff interest), through funding a coach once a week to facilitate this in a safe environment. We would also prioritise budget to develop our outdoor learning spaces, specifically in EYFS. We would purchase larger scale play equipment such as bikes, scooters and climbing equipment that would develop children's gross motor skills as this is an area currently lacking in our EYFS. This academic year, the school started a gardening project led by parents/ carers. We would use some of the funding to further develop the project and set up a gardening club after school which children can access alongside their parents/ carers. This would involve purchasing resources and tools to set this up and funding for staffing. The aim of the project is to get children and their families outdoors and involved in growing and eating their own fruit and vegetables at school and at home. We would also prioritise funding to offer additional fruit and vegetable provision at breaktimes for all our KS2 pupils. If budget allows we would also offer fruit every day as part of the healthy breakfast already provided to pupils accessing our breakfast club provision. Funding would also be used to allocate a member of staff to deliver additional after school clubs for physical activity/sport. This will complement the sport/ physical activities already on offer funded through our sport premium allocation and mean that we can offer a wider range of sport/physical activity every day after school free of charge. This would be offered to pupils in all year groups (KS1 to KS2) on a rota basis so that as many pupils can participate in physical activity over the course of the academic year.

12/04/2021	£48,950	THE DIVERSE CREATIVE CIC	The vision for the Homecoming project focuses on three key areas: Problem: The outputs from the events, services that The Diverse Creative have held and provided have identified that black employees with disabilities struggle to maintain their positions, access leadership opportunities, are threatened with dismissals for minor work errors or choose to become entrepreneurs because they do not enjoy working within the professional environments our of fear of being outed about their differences or judge because they operate differently. They are often not accepted for the jobs they apply for online even though they have the expertise, this could be from constructing a CV that converts, supporting statements, interview prep, having low self-esteem because of their disabilities, being questioned about their disabilities by management or being passed over for opportunities. The Homecoming programme has been created for people aged between 18-45 to reinforce the importance of self-value, confidence, and support in finding a job that speaks to an individual's strengths and career aspirations. Our insights disclose a high proportion of black employees with disabilities are experiencing mental health issues, lack of self-worth and advocacy and tend to struggle to find a position that enables a fair chance at progressing in their career. The stats below show: There are 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK (https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/research-and-statistics) Only 17% of all adults with a learning disability in England are in paid work (Emerson and Hatton 2008) https://www.mencap.org.uk/learning-disability-explained/research-and-statistics/employment-research-and-statistics It has been suggested that misconceptions about the capabilities of people with a learning disability may be widespread (Scior & Werner, 2015). Misconceptions and negative attitudes can be a barrier to people with a disability living the lives they want (Dixon et al., 2018). Case Study - The director of The Diverse Creative CIC, Remi Ray, started her first professional job at the age of 23; she worked for a renowned business school and experienced extreme bullying from senior leadership due to her undiagnosed dyslexia. After a series of 360 feedback that was used to belittle her, which had serious effects on her mental health and confidence in her professional career. She got a job in another department and made some mistakes with data entry; senior management then isolated her from several meetings about the errors. When she was finally called for a meeting, she was put on a fast track performance management programme with a three-strike rule, which means if she made any more mistakes, she would be dismissed from her position. She was able to hire legal support and served her manager with a letter to disclose her learning disability; her manager then questioned her disability. HR offered no help. The relationship from then on with the business school and manager broke down. After several interviews for a senior management position, Remi was profiled for her race and her abilities against her colleagues who had no management experience. A senior manager highlighted the disparities with the interview process, and the interview panel was changed, and I was asked to interview again. Remi, at that time, had over four years of management experience but was not offered the role. Solution: The Root - A hybrid coaching support programme delivered over six months that focuses on rebuilding self-worth, establishing strengths/weaknesses and aligned employment opportunities for those with learning disabilities and long term diagnosed/ undiagnosed disabilities. We aim to support up to 30 individuals between the ages of 21-50, Offering 30 dyslexia traits screenings that help us customise the support we offer individuals. We will also use psychometric testing to assist with career alignment focusing on strengths, weaknesses and opportunities. Combined with career training workshops and surgeries, which also include an individual coaching session with a career coach. And personal development coaching session with a confidence expert. The Data - Qualitative Report for Black Afro-Caribbean employees with learning disabilities by offering crucial insights for employees, advocates, allies and the employment ecosystem. The vision is to educate and gather the information that can help black employees with learning disabilities navigate working environments to have a fair opportunity to sustain and grow over the span of their careers. The report can serve as a guide on how to support and work with black employees with disabilities. We aim to interview a hundred black disabled employees to gather data for the report. Support Network The network is an online membership career support hub that will enable employees with disabilities opportunities to have a safe space to discuss their issues, tell their stories, connect with peers, seek work opportunities, learn about new skills, and attend further training over 12 month period. This will be used as a high touch support hub to continue to assist once the Hybrid coaching programme comes to an end; the vision with the hub is to become a paid subscription platform.
12/04/2021	£26,500	RENAISI	With the support of the Black Thrive fund, we want to pilot the set up and coordination of a shared referral system between providers of employment, health, and social inclusion support in Lambeth. The shared referral system will identify Black people with long-term conditions that are being left behind due to ineffective or inadequate provision and coordinate a hand over to organisations or providers who are better placed to serve their needs. The pilot will seek to test whether better coordination of providers leads to higher quality support and service provision for Black people with health conditions, and to measure which interventions are most effective at supporting them into employment. This project responds to the problem of individuals with health conditions and disabilities falling through gaps in support, which happens for a number of reasons: ? targets for referrals incentivize providers to register individuals onto programmes even if they can't help them ? high caseloads mean that frontline support workers often have to prioritise those with fewer barriers and thus considered to be more likely to move into employment, which leaves those with multiple or more complex barriers with inadequate support ? a highly competitive environment means providers compete for referrals, which dis-incentivizes colalboration ? complex programme criteria and hundreds of providers in the system means its difficult for individuals to navigate and identify the right support at the right time ? hack central coordination and cross-sector networks, which means that providers are all working in isolation of one another even though the issues are interconnected. The project also aims to build relationships and connections between the larger, mainstream providers of employment and health support with Black and Disabled-led providers and organisations who are using their expertise and experiences to provide new and unique approaches to support Black people with long-term health conditions ? to share their expertise and to lead on the solution over the long-term. The lack of cross-sector partnerships and collaboration, and in particular partnerships and collaboration with Black-led organisations, is a significant concern, because of the interconnectedness of the social and economic challenges we face in Lambeth. As Black Thrive?s research has shown, economic inequalities within the borough intersect along the lines of race, health, and disability, leading to poor quality employment, poorer health, and shorter lives for Black people compared to their White peers. In recognition of the interconnectedness of economic inequalities, Lambeth Council has announced that a key priority would be to enable collaboration and coproduction of support, which requires cross-sector coordination, yet despite this the sector remains focused on support and interventions delivered in isolation of each other and there is no clear strategy nor investment from Lambeth Council in leading on the collaboration that?s needed. Alfonso's story (name has been changed) Alfonso is a lambeth resident who was referred to Renaisi's Work & Health programme in 2019. Alfonso is Black, in his 30s, and was diagnosed with Chron's Disease in his early 20's. After months of being ill and after receiving a diagnosis of Chron's Disease, Alfonso's life became really unstable. He lost his job because he was out sick so often, and due to losing his job he couldn't pay rent and ended up becoming homelessness. During these early days, apart from health support, he was never offered or signposted to advice or any other services. It wasn't until he had already become homeless that he received help and support in other aspects of his life that his health had affected. After losing his job he tried to return to his career in education but he was in too much pain to work full time and had to go to hospital often. He has cycled in and out of work for the past eight years and when tried to get support in this past he was often called lazy by his advisor. Alfonso said that throughout his condition he's had to figure things out for himself and learn everything on his own. His story is all too common and is an example of how a system, where everyone is working in silos and the lack of cross-sector collaboration results in gaps in support, and these gaps in support have severe consequences for individuals and their life prospects. This project will address this problem directly by establishing a Coordinator role within in the existing system in Lambeth whose role would be to synchronise referrals and support activities across a network of providers in the Borough. For this project, Renaisi would act as the Coordinator and would bring together a cross-sectoral partnership made up of organisations in Lambeth providing services in the areas of employment, health, and social inclusion. These partners will have a shared interest in addressing system barriers for Black people living with health conditions and disabilities through greater service collaboration. We will then set up and pilot a shared referral system with the aim of improving employment outcomes for the referred individuals. The cross-sector partnership will be collectively responsible for the achievement of these outcomes. We believe that this project will create the necessary conditions to achieve a significant change in the way that organizations collaborate, which will bring long-term benefits to individuals who experience multiple forms of disadvantage. We will use the learning and evidence we gather throughout the project to measure effectiveness and make a case to the local authority and other local commissioners for long-term investment in this way of working, creating a new vision for provision in the borough.
12/04/2021	£3,000	BTE IND APP - SUZETTE METZ	The vision is to deliver a targeted rehabilitation and employment support project targeted to the black residence of Lambeth. To engage employers and employees in Lambeth, and to raise their awareness around the impact of long term health problems (LTC)/ disability and how this affect individuals who are not able to gain and sustain employment because of those difficulties. Using my skillsets and experience gained over a 20 years I plan to use presentations, workshops and 1-1 sessions both face to face and online with both employers and employees raise awareness and tackle some of the issues around disclose of health conditions and support both employers and employees with recruitment and job retention. Throughout my working life, I have supported disadvantaged and marginalised individuals from all races, class and gender. I worked with DWP for 23 years the last 10years as a Disability Employment Advisor (DEA), with Jobcentre Plus, working with clients with a wide range of disabilities, both invisible and visible. In my current role as an Employment Specialist with the NHS I have worked with patients with a wide range of mental health (MH) difficulties predominately severe mental health difficulties (patients requiring secondary NHS care). As a health care professional Mentor /coach, and mental health recovery and vocational rehabilitation specialist. I have been using and implementing therapeutic, coaching and recovery based interventions with service users. In both roles I have supported clients to apply for Access to Work funding to both gain and sustain employment. I have been an active member of Equality and Diversity staff network groups and within the NHS (prior to that DWP) staff network was involved with staff and service user training addressing race equality and cultural capabilities within the NHS; addressing the power dynamics and racial discrimination that can be present between professionals and service users. This training was delivered across the Trust by both staff and service users. As I am currently setting up my own business as a mentor/coach. I also work (self employed) with a black led organisation working with mainly black community providing with a range of courses, workshops, mentors and coaching. My passion is to work with black men and particularly black men with mental health difficulties, who are more disadvantaged in the workplace, facing both racial discrimination and stigma due to their mental health. I have supported a numerous individuals with lived experience of mental health difficulties into employment where they share their experiences as peer workers. The specific problems I would like to address within Lambeth community: - Improve the awareness of both employers and employees on how to use access to work to increased disclosure of LTC/ disability - Support employees who wish to disclose their LTC/ disability to their employer - Improve in-work support for Black and LTC/ disabled employees by working closely with employers and HR practitioners, and complementing in house vocational rehabilitation, Employee Assistance Programmes, advocacy services. - Improve the health and employment outcomes of individuals with?physical health?conditions?(whether diagnosed or undiagnosed)? -Conduct Black / community-led research into health, race, and employment
12/04/2021	£10,000	DANA THE TRAINER LTD	This project is about representation and hope. Before Barack Obama became the first President of the United States, a generation of Black girls and boys knew that the office could be aspired to ?someday?. But, as one of them, I can definitely say that I did not really consider it to be a true possibility until he won and was sworn in. Similarly, as a Caribbean woman, the swearing in of Paula-Mae Weekes as our first female President, inspired the region and changed the narrative about what is possible for women in politics. Before Tessa Sanderson won an Olympic gold medal for the javelin in 1984, I think everyone knew a black British woman winning an Olympic gold was a thing that could happen. However, her actually winning it, made it something that absolutely could be accomplished ? because it had been done. Yes, some of us are striving to get in the history books and accomplish things that haven?t been done yet. But many others, need to see things becoming a reality, need to understand something is truly possible, and how it became possible in order to get the motivation to strive for and work toward it. This project is for those people. There is something that I hear over and over in the course of my work with underrepresented groups in organisations and it is ? ?We can?t see ourselves?. And whether that?s at the highest levels of organisations, or in the Fortune 500 or just in long-term employment, it matters. It also matters to people with long-term conditions and disability. They, like everyone else need to be able to see themselves being successful. Asthma runs in my family. My father died from complications around the condition when I was six, and I also suffered from asthma as a child. Several of my cousins also have the condition. However, we are all physically active and generally manage our conditions well. Asthma has never gotten in the way, even as children. I truly believe that a big reason for that is because the generation before us showed us what was possible. My uncles who have asthma did not let it get in their way. We saw them live with and manage the condition, and so we learned from watching that we could also do the same and live rich lives, taking every precaution. This project aims to create a similar effect by: - Showcasing people with long-term conditions and disabilities who are successfully employed and explore their stories and their fields of work including entry requirements and success factors. - Sharing how the above individuals were able to forge a path despite their conditions and how they advocated for themselves for any accommodations they needed. - Amplifying the accommodations employers made to aid career journeys, and sharing these with other prospective employers. Basically, I want to show the community of prospective employers and employees alike, what?s possible. Should this application be successful, the aim is to produce: - A video docuseries to be published online that tells 30 of the positive stories above. - An illustrated book showcasing the same positive stories that will be accessible in Lambeth libraries and given to members of the community. - A whitepaper that summarises all the accommodations that employers made for those featured that can be used to show employers as well, what?s possible if they put their minds to it. By showcasing excellence the aim is to inspire both groups that things that might currently not seem possible, in part due to limited information, are indeed possible.
12/04/2021	£25,563	RTW PLUS LTD	Compared to White population of Lambeth and Southwark, people from Black communities are 50% more likely to acquire three or more long-term conditions. Generally Black people are diagnosed about 10-15 years earlier with these long-term conditions than the White population. The data suggest that Black people in Lambeth are acquiring their individual conditions at a younger age and progressing at a more rapid rate than White people, thereby having a shorter life span. Chronic pain and depression in particular are some of the most common long-term conditions affecting the Black population in Lambeth. Chronic pain, as a stress state, is one of the critical factors for determining depression, and their coexistence tends to further aggravate the severity of both disorders. This can have a significant negative impact on individual's quality of life as well as their ability to sustain employment. As an organisation dedicated to promoting rehabilitation, RTW Plus have invested heavily in programmes addressing chronic pain and co-existing depression to help people sustain or return to work. Whilst we have been delivering Empowered Relief pain class, with this grant, we wish to combine provision of chronic pain support with vocational guidance to enhance workability in this population. Our vision is that returning individuals to their most functional is best for all parties and our practice ethos reflects this. We know that early intervention is more cost effective, and that quality of life and work retention are the most important outcomes for our clients. Therefore, we will utilise a combination of online group workshops and individual guidance to support people with chronic pain to help them live better through provision of self-management strategies, vocational training and workplace support. If they are already in work, the focus will be work retention so they can continue to be effective contributors at work.

18/12/2020	£74,247	BRIXTON ADVICE CENTRE	Funding for the roll-out of a new volunteer advice service covering social welfare law (specifically benefits and debt) at the Brixton Advice Centre. The Volunteer Advice Clinic would have the facility to provide face-to-face advice as well as online services via the new BAC web portal. All volunteers will be recruited, trained and managed by a Volunteer Coordinator (currently funded until March 2020) and further supported by a team of 5 other professional Advisers in post. It is envisioned 15 new volunteers each year will be trained, with each expected to volunteer for 1 or 2 days a week for approximately 6 months before moving on. They will provide a mix of one-off advice sessions (20%) lasting 1 hour and more complex casework (800% taking up to 5 hours per client. The new service would be available to low-income Lambeth residents and also recruit and train volunteer Advisers drawn from their local community. Once recruited Volunteers will receive approx 30 hours of key-knowledge training, followed by shadowing, interviewing skills training and supervision.
17/11/2020	£75,000 £933,438	CITIZENS ADVICE MERTON AND LAMBETH	This grant will continue to fund a part-time (3 days a week) Advice Supervisor to recruit, induct, train and supervise volunteer Advisors working in Lambeth.

Walcot have already been funding this role for the last 3 years and the Advice Supervisor is already in post.
05/11/2020	£34,725	THE UBELE INITIATIVE	We wish to address the underemployment of black people who are in early middle age (35-55) who have given up the prospect of work as a realistic personal goal. We wish to encourage 35-55-year-old Black people to use community action as a first step to becoming active citizens in order that they reengage with the economy. We wish to create a systems map of the relationship between the members of the Dominoes clubs to identify the barriers and leverage points to their economic engagement. The Brixton immortals, Cosmopolitan Sports, and Social Club, and Clapham Eagles are three Dominoes clubs in Lambeth. All three clubs have memberships consisting of Caribbean migrants and first/second generation Caribbean migrants. The average age of the clubs is 57. This is from a range of 35 - 82. The joint membership of the three clubs amounts to 400 people. In addition, the clubs are in contact with many more people of the target age who do not have formal membership. The three clubs led by Ubele, have recently come together to deliver 'The Portal Project'. This project was aimed at members who were socially isolating. In our survey of members, we found that almost 70percent of the membership suffered from long-term health conditions including Hypertension and diabetes. The project provided an online space where members could continue to interact and play dominoes together. The Portal project evidenced the ability of the partnership to meet the needs of the membership. The need In Lambeth, the proportion of 25-49-year-olds not engaged with work is 8.1 percent compared to a national percentage of 7.1 percent for the same age group. Even more stark is the number of 50+ people who are unemployed in the borough running at 10.3 percent as opposed to a national figure of 4.9 for the same age group. (https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/lmp/la/1946157253/printable.aspx) The current chair of the Brixton immortals dominoes club states that about 75 percent of the membership between the ages of 35 -55 are not economically active. This confirms our own survey of the membership and management of the club done in 2019. When engaging members for the Portal project we found that many members aged 35-55 did not believe that they would ever become employed again. That they had given up on work as a viable personal goal. Whilst the first stage of our project will engage these people and enable them to reassess their viability for the labor market. The systems review will explore this phenomenon in depth. Creating a better understanding of the relationship between 35-55-year-olds from the clubs and the employment market.
05/11/2020	£10,000	PAWS AND PAUSE	Vision :People living with mental health difficulties and/or substance misuse addictions have access to a choice of employment and training support in an environment that works for them. Combining recovery with personal development, improved wellbeing and canine care. Since our first volunteer started in Oct 2019 recorded until June 2020 - we have: Supported 6 volunteers on placement, these volunteers have achieved: 61 days of volunteering between them since . 95% attendance rate to placement Completing ?Accessing Fundraising and grants? course Completing ?Implementing Volunteer policies; course Completed ?Accredited Canine First Aid? course Completed ?Working with dogs induction? One Volunteer has started working p/t and has now started mentoring a new volunteer. Five volunteers have not yet completed their placements. Case Study : Since starting with Paws & Pause, in October last year, I have completed my Dog First Aid training, developed profile sheets for all our canine clients and delivered the first newsletter. Recently, I began training to become a mentor and started to work with one of my fellow volunteers; peer mentoring is a great way to engage volunteers as we can share and use our experiences to relate to each other. Unfortunately this is currently on hold but during lockdown I have been able to work remotely on developing the volunteer handbook which will help structure the volunteer placements to support them in discovering their potential, developing personal & professional skills, as well as establishing and working towards future goals! Whilst I have been out of employment for the last few years, I have learnt to manage my mental health and built my confidence as a volunteer. I have gained many skills which Paws & Pause have been an instrumental part in helping me to realise and apply them to a work environment and I am looking forward to developing a career and help others discover what they are capable of and achieve their ambitions."
05/11/2020	£43,194	KATAKATA	Work is often linked to our identity, and fostering our identity can be key to wellbeing and recovery from mental ill health. We understand this because two of our directors (who are black) have had long-term struggles with mental health challenges, as well as facing the challenge of migrating to England in their lifetime and systemic racism/discrimination here. They worked through this, learnt to manage their conditions, and overcome the challenges presented to them to become successful business people. They have been working to inspire other black people in Lambeth to know that they can do the same, this programme represents the expansion of this work, incorporating learning from the journey so far. We believe in the social model of disability, our approach aims to provide participants with multiple opportunities and tools to feel and be independent, find meaning/purpose, and that they can make significant contributions to society. Both the experiences of mental ill health, and the experience of losing your employment can damage confidence, self-esteem and result in feelings of reduced autonomy. For those already affected by discrimination (such as through race, gender, class etc...) the impact of these experience can be much stronger. We see members of our community struggling to have aspirations in a society which has been sending them messages that they cannot achieve or they have internalised an understanding that well-paid employment or certain careers are ?not for people like them?. We also know that many lack role models of successful black business people in their immediate circles, and they might not have social networks which give them connections to find new opportunities. We want to change this, and have a vision for a catalyst programme to create a network of black social entrepreneurs in Lambeth. It?s easier for people to identify with our space, because it?s a black owned and run social enterprise. This can inspire people as they see someone who looks like them running it, and they can feel comfortable approaching us and participating. Our proposal has some similarities to the successful ?Young Black men? project in Hackney. It?s about demonstrating there are many ways to live your life, other paths and careers available. Once events are able to take place again we will offer subsidised or free spaces on other workshops happening in the space to participants during their catalyst programme (such as wellbeing or arts activities). Our programme will be particularly targeted at black people who face the challenge of long-term mental health issues, but may also offer opportunities to those recently unemployed. Through our programme we will provide opportunities for social and personal development and self-determination. We will provide mentors, role models and support in the development of aspirations and dreams - as well as giving the tools to realise them. This will build motivation, self understanding, confidence, skills, and capacity in participants. Over time as the network grows alumni from the programme can become mentors, supporters and role models for others, building from the ground up to a more systemic change; creating social capital and pushing the baseline level of aspirations in the black community in Lambeth.
05/11/2020	£10,000	CS COACHING & DEVELOPMENT LTD	Our project aims to increase the diversity of the workforce within Lambeth by supporting 15 Black African and Caribbean parents with Long-term conditions to overcome the barriers to employment that exist for this particular group within the world of work. Each participant will receive 6 coaching sessions across a 6 week period with access to a monthly support webinar. Lambeth has one of the largest Black community's in the UK yet when we look at issues of inequality in the areas of employment and mental health and wellbeing there is an underrepresentation of Black people in employment and and over representation especially when we look at those of Caribbean heritage in the criminal justice and mental health arena. The Lambeth Black Health and Wellbeing commission points out that Black Caribbean people make up 7% of the population registered with Lambeth GPs and yet account for 17% of people with serious mental illnesses. Other black groups are also overrepresented amongst those with serious mental health conditions and the disproportionate numbers get higher the more severe the diagnosis and treatment setting. Whilst 26% of people in Lambeth identify as Black African or Caribbean, 50% of Lambeth residents in high secure and 67% in low and medium secure psychiatric detention are from these groups. The report notes this is not solely a Lambeth phenomenon, nationally black men are 17 times more likely to be diagnosed with a serious mental health illness than their white counterparts. One recommendation of the report in preventing these statistics is in providing extra support such as mentoring and professional help to parents. When we look at Education and the underachievement of Black Caribbean pupils which contributes to the overrepresentation of young Black adults within the criminal justice system , in Lambeth 85% of pupils are from a BME background where Black African pupils form the largest ethnic group in Lambeth schools with 23%, followed by Black Caribbean at 15% and White British also at 15% (Chief Inspector?s Report 2016/17). Yet when you look at the workforce of the schools the diversity is lacking in England, with 86% of teachers, 91% of the leadership, 87% of Teaching assistants and all school staff are White British. Black Caribbean make up 0.8% leadership, 1% of teachers, 1.5% of Teaching assistants whilst Black Caribbean make up 1.2% of the school population (DFE School Workforce Census 2016 - Black Caribbean Underachievement in Schools in England, Demie F, McLean C). The report By F Demie highlights the issues faced by Black Caribbean students within the education system and the need for more diverse leadership and effective parental engagement within schools if we are to tackle these issues early - prevention. As a former headteacher and now education and leadership consultant, I have attended a number of third sector meetings which have highlighted the need for projects such as Coaching for Success to engage with parents from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities in tackling issues of social inequality. As a result of the project, our parents will be able to: ? Build confidence and high self esteem ? Have high aspirations for self ? Secure employment ? Develop the resilience needed to remain in employment Our aim is to properly equip them for the challenges they may face. We do this by supporting the development of the skills, knowledge and experience they will need to overcome potential barriers.
05/11/2020	£18,425	ASPIRE 2 INSPIRE DYSLEXIA CIC	Our overarching aim is to build social capital for people with dyslexia by raising awareness of the issues they face and offering them direct support, advice and guidance. A2i Dyslexia was founded by Elizabeth Takyi in April 2016 as a response to her disability. Elizabeth didn?t learn to read or write until she was 15 years old, she was bullied for years and her dyslexia went undiagnosed until later in her adult life, impacting significantly on her mental health and self-esteem. This experience is not unusual in a culture where systems don?t accommodate disabilities and differences and therefore fail to engage, inspire and benefit from the talent within individuals they are meant to support, particularly those from Black and Ethnic Minority (BAME) backgrounds. We ensure the issue is central to our delivery and promoted on our website and at the events we hold in the community such as ?Black, ethnic and dyslexic?. With an intersectional identity, including a disability that makes education difficult, and which frequently leads to childhood bullying and exclusion, it is not surprising our adult clients are often unemployed or in low paid, insecure employment. We hear from our clients, 75% of whom have a black or ethnic minority background, that they face barriers around communication methods and services aren?t designed or communicated in a way to suit their culture, and they do not have the confidence to approach services. Learning ability is still a very important factor in the professional life of many people, and dyslexia continues to produce stress in jobs where reading, writing and calculation skills are highly used. We offer tips and techniques that enable people to achieve their goals and cope better with day to day tasks. We aim to increase confidence and self esteem and build the knowledge and skills required to gain employment. For example, having been unemployed for over 2 years X had been desperately looking for work. In itself this process put a strain on her because of her struggle with severe Dyslexia. Having applied and been rejected for jobs so many times her self-esteem was at its lowest and she was receiving support from the Mental Health team for depression. She came to A2i Dyslexia completely broken and at rock bottom. After attending a series of A2i Employability Workshops funded by Wimbledon Foundation, she successfully secured a job as a care assistant. She hopes to attend college in the near future in order to achieve her aspiration to become a nurse. X said we changed her life! A2i creates proven positive change with 97% of clients (approximately 75% from black and ethnic minority backgrounds) reporting improvement in self-worth.

A school counsellor will also be employed to provide 1-2-1 counselling for pupils, run a Gardening Club (a combination of educative and therapeutic particularly focused at children who struggle with classroom teaching), a Circle of Friends Group (one child with acute behavioural needs has a supportive group of 5 children who are aware of his/her issues and can support in class) and Nurture Groups (small groups working with PP pupils who are affected by mental health, anxiety, bereavement or showing anti-social behaviour).
16/07/2020	£4,000	HEATHBROOK PRIMARY SCHOOL	This project aims to improve low income pupils understanding and appreciation of science and nature through 'Outdoor Learning' sessions. Each term a group of Pupil Premium Lambeth pupils will spend one afternoon per week in the Wildlife garden. They will have high quality input from senior staff with expertise in Outdoor learning and Forest school training as well as a worker from Father Nature ( https://www.fathernature.org.uk/ ), an organisation that specialises in outdoor learning. The children will be able to explore and learn about the cycles of living things (plants and animals) in the wild life garden. The intervention will also help the children understand conservation and sustainability as we will develop habitats, conserve the wood in the garden, grow, maintain, harvest and eat their own food as well as sell it in the playground and Venn Street.
06/07/2020	£4,445 £44,729	POSITIVE NETWORK COMMUNITY PROJECT	This project will provide a temporary call centre and outreach provision to meet the immediate needs of isolated Lambeth low income elderly and vulnerable residents; providing regular contact and delivery of hot meals, medication and other supplies. The hot meals service compliments the food bank service that Positive Network already facilitates. Tablets (4 across the whole project) will be used for monitoring purposes and will also be loaned to sheltered scheme staff to enable them to support elderly residents to keep in touch with family/friends through social video conferencing (residents have contact with a single staff member to facilitate this). In addition, Positive Network will host a memorial event in three months' time, in response to the many lives lost within their community and residents' inability to attend funerals. The event will be hosted and held in a manner appropriate to restrictions and guidance as they are in place at that time.
26/06/2020	£9,182 £160,698	LOUGHBOROUGH JUNCTION ACTION GROUP	The Loughborough Junction Action Group (LJAG) is a volunteer-led charity that works to improve the environment of Loughborough Junction and the lives of the people who live and work there. They run four projects: Loughborough Farm; The Platform Community Cafe; the Grove Adventure Playground and Craft Workshops. All of these provide safe places for children and young people to learn and play and outdoor spaces where residents can grow food and socialise. This grant would be used to bring together the existing knowledge and expertise from all of their existing projects to support vulnerable residents in Loughborough Junction during the lockdown and as they begin to return to normal.

16/06/2020	£11,006 £160,807	WATERLOO ACTION CENTRE	The project aims to deliver the benefits of the Waterloo Action Centre (friendship, mutual support, physical activity, welfare benefits advice, and fun) to the centre's most vulnerable users. This will be done through delivery of IT support (helping local residents get online for friendship, engagement and welfare benefits purposes), provision of a new IT suite to improve digital access, and remote dance parties for wheelchair users to reduce muscle loss and promote fun. The IT suite will be converted during the three month period of this grant in order to be ready for use when social distancing guidelines allow. The costs of the IT room conversion are based on a firm estimate from a contractor that has delivered other building projects for WAC and WAC have given WF a breakdown of the work that will be involved in converting the room.
16/06/2020	£11,980	COMMONS LAW CIC	Commons Law will run a Crisis Navigation team by redeploying two staff members and hiring a third and providing them with equipment and online/safe face to face meeting facilities. Responding to an urgent identified need to crisis navigate for vulnerable clients with multiple needs who present in the criminal justice system. The team will be able to offer practical support with a range of needs (including benefit and housing applications and drafting debt letters), referrals and signposting. Commons Law have previously relied on payment for casework from the Legal Aid Agency. The closure of the majority of criminal courts and the growing backlog of cases awaiting a court hearing mean there has been a drop off in the throughput of cases and therefore income; as such the staff members involved with this project are not currently funded by other means. The project is primarily funding staff posts, but in addition, will fund a laptop, tablet and phone (for one new staff member), meeting room costs and deep cleaning/PPE for social distanced face to face meetings (these only take place when essential), and translation and interpreter costs.
11/06/2020	£6,420	NEW VISION FOR WOMEN	Prior to lockdown New Vision for Women (NVFW) had been offering coffee mornings, workshops and fitness sessions to mainly BAME women through a network of nurseries, housing associations and peer-led referrals in Lambeth, with particularly strong links in Clapham/Thornton ward.

NVFW now wish to offer online services to their network, including life coaching, mindfulness, reflexology and exercise. helping women (the vast majority mothers with young children) better deal with the stress and anxiety created by C19. They will employ a qualified reflexologist and life coach to deliver sessions as well as create content based on sessions previously delivered by NVFW in person, with a total of 27 classes being offered over 12 weeks. They will also use some funding to buy and loan laptops to low-income women with no other way to get online and provide 1:1 support and training to these service users to help them build the confidence and IT skills.
05/06/2020	£5,713 £31,530	JOY OF SOUND (JOS)	This project will deliver Joy of Sound music and wellbeing services to low income Lambeth residents in two residential homes and two day cantres.

They plan to offer sessions 6 days a week including fitness, challenge videos, leadership sessions, mentoring (one to one and group), music listening parties, games tournaments, workshops (money, relationships, mental health) and a book club. Further to this, they would like to employ a small team of outreach workers (youth club members who have completed more than a 100 hours of volunteering with BIGKID) who will facilitate access to and support sessions and launch a C19 'helpline' (connecting with young people struggling with their mental or physical health or in need of essential supplies) and use approx £1500 to purchase f ood, utilities top-ups and technology that they can provide to those families who are suffering the greatest economic hardship.
05/06/2020	£9,990 £21,396	LOVE STREATHAM	This project stems from Streatham Churches Winter Night Shelter (based on the Housing Justice model where churches take it in turns to accommodate homeless people). The Night Shelter Guests were rehoused by the Government in March in a local hotel due to C19. This proposal is to fund the Co-ordinator for three days a week for three months and for 'move-on' resources fund (£2250) to support 15 homeless guests (currently in emergency accommodation) to ensure successful move-on after lock down; and also enable the Co-ordinator to plan shelter programme, in response to learning and changes in need.
05/06/2020	£21,000	LILIAN BAYLIS TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL	This project will offer targeted Pupil Premium Y11 students subject mentoring in groups of 6 for 45 minutes per week.

01/06/2020	£12,500 £422,251	SOUTH LONDON CARES	South London Carers supports elderly people by partnering them with younger 'professional' neighbours to tackle the growing problem of isolation and loneliness in Lambeth and Southwark. Through partnerships with GP surgeries, social services and housing providers they are able to reach the most vulnerable candidates and prior to the C19 outbreak they also ran 23 monthly social clubs and completed regular proactive outreach. During lockdown SLC requires additional funding to scale up its new emergency response programmes, to retain and re-deploy experienced staff and increase and mobilise volunteers. SLC plan to transition existing social clubs to new digital forms, provide digital skills training for elderly people, increase communications via post and email and roll out a wider phone-a-friend service, providing a well-being service to a much wider group of self-isolating elderly people.
01/06/2020	£26,587 £156,083	HOME-START LAMBETH	Homestart Lambeth currently works with over 100 families with complex needs in Lambeth, with just under half of these survivors of domestic violence. Previously this work involved running a range of classes and drop-in sessions and using caseworkers and volunteers to support service users 1:1 where needed. This funding would allow Homestart to move some of their services online and train volunteers to help vulnerable parents access these new services. They will transfer their 12-week course for survivors of domestic violence (Freedom) online and also run baby classes and craft classes for parents with young children, using their volunteers to encourage families who might be nervous or new to attending online groups with strangers. Lastly, they plan to use a proportion of funding (approx 15%) to buy and send out baby sensory boxes, craft/art materials, shopping vouchers and credit top-ups for families worst hit by the economic and social shocks caused by the C19 outbreak.
01/06/2020	£8,212 £12,982,913	L'ARCHE	L?Arche London is a charity that supports 32 adults with learning disabilities, autism and profound or multiple learning disabilities through a mixture of registered care, supported housing and specialist day services including a workshop and community garden project based in West Norwood. Since the outbreak of coronavirus, they have encountered a sharp increase in capital and staffing costs that were not budgeted for and this is now impacting on their ability to meet the needs of their service users. L'arche report that 45% of their service users are 'extremely clinically vulnerable' group and just '10% can function independently, even for short periods of time'. L'Arche have therefore taken steps to launch some new remote activities and service to keep people connected and engaged but due to the need for ongoing 1:1 contact with the majority, appropriate PPE continues to be very large and unbudgeted expenditure. This grant would pay for 12 weeks of PPE Masks, aprons and googles (7,500 units) as well as some additional hardware which will make it possible for their care assistants to work from home as required.
22/05/2020	£12,290 £517,974	DISABILITY ADVICE SERVICE LAMBETH	The funding would enable DASL to pay for 21 hours of additional staff time and volunteer expenses to coordinate an increase in their volunteer/peer support work required as a result of the C19 crisis. Pre C19 DASL was able to call on the services of 16 regular volunteers who were supervised and supported by their Into-Sport Coordinator at the sport and exercise classes ran at venues across the borough. Since lockdown the coordinator role has been required to change, they now offer 5 weekly online exercise classes and other 1:1 services that take up the majority of this time, leaving existing volunteers without support whilst demand for services grows. This grant would allow a new Coordinator to fully utilise and expand DASLs pool of volunteers and coordinate a clear offer to members. They would also lead on training new volunteers via a new online portal, promoting the skills and confidence required to work 1:1 during lockdown.
22/05/2020	£13,846 £307,786	EFA LONDON	Between April 2017 and April 2020 Walcot funded EFA to teach English to parents in 4 Lambeth Primary schools (St Bede?s Primary and Junior School, Henry Cavendish and St Andrew?s) improving their ability to engage with the school and support their child's education. This project would allow EFA to provide additional services to 300 low income migrants across London (a third of whom would be Lambeth residents) and assist them to develop the skills needed to transition to ESOL distance-learning/remote access programmes. They will conduct weekly 1:1s with the most vulnerable students providing teaching support and signposting and produce a regular newsletter/guide for the wider migrant community in London helping them to understand the changing policy and guidance in relation to C19. EFA's ESOL teachers will also deliver digital skills training, focused on 50 of their students with the poorest literacy, IT skills and confidence. This group will be taught (1:1 or in small groups) how to effectively use Zoom, Skype, email, WhatsApp and other apps, with lessons being provided in their first language where necessary.
22/05/2020	£31,056 £691,436	THE BAYTREE CENTRE	This project moves the Baytree educational programme online, offering academic support and mentoring to low income Lambeth resident women and girls, delivered by a team of staff and regular volunteers.

Alongside this they will provide devices and wifi dongles to the most deprived families they work with so they can engage with the new online activities and deliver physical play activity packs to other low-income families who are struggling with boredom and low mood. In order to deliver these additional services, they need to purchase computer hardware and play materials as well as increase the working hours of their senior playworker and social media manager to create and coordinate delivery.
18/05/2020	£4,359	YOUNG FUTURES	Young Futures provides supported accommodation to young people (including young parents) who have experienced the trauma of abuse, neglect and exploitation. Many of the young people experience mental health challenges and Young Futures believe that the COVID19 crisis is exacerbating their difficulties. The residents have experienced a reduction in the face to face support they were until recently receiving from professionals such as Social Services and health visitors. The organisation want to provide data packs and laptops (where a need is identified) to enable young people to get online to receive therapy and take advantage of online learning opportunities. They also want to provide young people with therapy services. There is no statutory responsibility for Young Futures to provide direct therapeutic services to care leavers, only a responsibility to provide access to wider community support; as such these young people primarily receive learning and independent living support from key workers with a limited amount of therapy (key worker staff are advised and guided by therapists to support young people). During the current crisis, Young Futures has identified the need for therapy staff to provide therapy direct to residents to overcome anxiety, loneliness, isolation and boredom. They also want to extend their provision of therapeutic support to key worker staff who work most closely with the young people on a day to day basis, enabling staff to maintain their own wellbeing and provide improved therapeutic support to residents.
15/05/2020	£23,000 £651,235	CENTRE 70 ADVICE CENTRE	This grant is to enable Centre 70 staff team (23 staff ? 18.2 FTE) to work more effectively remotely.

At the end of the 10 weeks, young people will launch their products and be supported by BLP to register their business and sell through their own online portal if appropriate. Laptop computers will be loaned to young people who need them (with a chance to 'bid' to keep them for business reasons at the end of the project) and small grants of up to £ 250 will also be made available to those who can demonstrate they are then ready to take their business idea to the next level. Alongside 4 hours of technical training in business planning, coding, web design, product design and crowdfunding each week, they will get 6 hours of 1:1 coaching to ensure they are on track and able to take full advantage of the new skills they are learning.

The programme aims to reduce vulnerability and isolation among young adult residents (including young parents) in Evolve housing, of whom Evolve estimate 80% have mental health issues.
15/05/2020	£25,000 £188,903	CHIPS (CHRISTIAN INTERNATIONAL PEACE SERVICE)	This project aims to support low income young people and families facing increased hardship due to the COVID19 crisis. The project has three elements: 1) an expanded online youth programme (sessions including group mentoring, fitness, art, cooking and more) which supports positive family relationships, learning new skills and good mental health; 2) Increased family support (each parent/carer gets a named support worker, weekly check-ins, practical support with food, benefits, housing advice, and accessing services); 3) Improved digital access (laptops/data dongles provided to those urgently needing it for education ? approx 25% of budget). Referrals are mainly from schools who have identified low income families who need additional support. The children engaged with the project are primarily those at risk of disengagement from school.
15/05/2020	£27,172	NO. 1 PERFORMING ARTS (NOPA)	NOPA currently provides creative therapies to three primary schools across Lambeth; Richard Atkins, Sudbourne and St Luke's. Their NOPA-C programme aims to address the underlying issues that lead to behavioural problems and reduce the risk of exclusions and mental health problems in later life. They work with both the child and parents via 1:1 sessions and small groups. NOPA are currently funded to provide 10 hours of therapy (on average) per child to 40 children as well as parenting sessions, speech and language therapy and martial arts. This grant would allow 4 members of their team (Project Manager, Psychotherapist, Family Councillor and Speech and Language Therapist) to double the number of hours committed to this project for 12 weeks and their Outreach worker to increase their hours also. This extra capacity would allow NOPA to help an additional 25 families, taking the total number to 65, of which at least 75% (48) will be pupil premium households. They will also supply ?creative therapy packs? and small emergency relief grants to existing low income service users who need them.
15/05/2020	£27,300 £164,810	OVAL LEARNING CLUSTER	Funding will allow the 3 existing Lambeth school cluster managers (Oval Learning Cluster, Windmill Cluster and Brixton Learning Collaborative) and 1 additional 'community connector' to increase their working hours (40% of budget) to do more to tackle the ongoing issues created by C-19 for children from low-income families in Lambeth. This work will include the coordination of food distribution (for which several of the schools in the clusters have become hubs), sourcing and providing additional learning materials (including IT, school equipment, art supplies), crisis funding (e.g. electricity costs so school children cannot get online) and therapeutic support and signposting. All of these services would be targeted at the families with the greatest need across any of the 45 Lambeth schools that the clusters jointly cover. Lastly, the project would like to offer additional bereavement support/trauma-informed training that school staff could access during the lockdown (online) and in-person when they return to school so they can best support students who have suffered bereavements.
07/05/2020	£14,000 £402,281	EBONY HORSE CLUB	Current WF funding is for the Lead Youth Worker who is still working during this time (duties include: leading on online safeguarding and staff training for online delivery; phone outreach to families; 1:1 phone and Zoom mentoring; coordination of online sessions including planning sessions and targeting young people).

06/05/2020	£5,000 £457,891	VAUXHALL CITY FARM	Funding will allow the farm to create twice-weekly therapeutic and learning experiences for 300 children and volunteers (half of which are from Lambeth) who are from low-income families or have special educational needs and/or previously used the farm as a way to improve their mental health. Currently, the farm is continuing to look after their animals with a shoe-string staff and they are not able to allow volunteers on site. This project will stream regularly farm and animal update videos and webinars (including animal care and food production lessons) for those who can no longer attend in person. This will be supplemented by 1:1 advice and signposting for those who need it.
05/05/2020	£8,698 £1,612,668	EMMAUS LAMBETH AND SURREY	Emmaus shops are temporarily closed but the organisation still incurs costs relating to the 27 residents (known as Companions) housed at the West Norwood house. Costs include Companion Allowance (a sum paid to residents that is designed to stop them becoming homeless again and which has currently been halved for the duration of the impact of COVID19), television licences, utilities, support costs, rent and staff salaries. Companions do not claim Universal Credit but would normally be expected to volunteer for 40 hours per week in one of the Emmaus shops and would in turn receive the Companion Allowance as income. The West Norwood house is owned by L&Q and rented by Emmaus; Emmaus states that L&Q have denied them a requested 50% reduction in rent. The request is for one month of expenses (1.5 months for rent).

The grant will fund 25% of SYCT's full nutritious cooked meals delivery service, which will deliver 1000 cooked meals a week at a cost price of £1 per portion for the next 3 months. Walcot funding would be ringfenced to ensure this provision gives priority to the young carers, disabled children and those children whose carers are unemployed who attend their sessions. Additionally, 10 young carers or disabled children, who have very limited or no access to IT, would be provided with hardware and an internet connection to allow them to engage fully with the homework session they previously attended in person.
01/05/2020	£20,900 £280,510	TALENT-ED EDUCATION	Talent-Ed matches experienced former teachers with disadvantaged pupils in Years 9 to 11 for small group tutoring (4 pupils per tutor).

The programme offers subject specific tuition (primarily English and Maths) alongside core skills development and confidence and aspirations.
01/05/2020	£9,000 £454,493	FUTURE FRONTIERS	The project will work with 250 year 12 students across London to help them consider their post -18 options and make informed decisions on next steps. This will be done by linking each student with a volunteer coach from the world of business. Over 4 sessions/6 hours they will work with their coach (using the Future Frontiers interactive careers handbook that has been converted to an interactive online resource as a guide) to improve their knowledge of the opportunities available to them post year 13, including advanced apprenticeships and university routes. A physical copy of their workbook will also be sent to the home of every student. As Lambeth is just one borough that Future Frontiers work in, a contribution of 1/5 of the project costs (this includes a programme manager, partnership manager, volunteer costs and software but not the contribution requested for fundraising and office costs) would allow them to provide a service to 50 Lambeth students. They would initially target Oasis Southbank and Elmgreen school for access to these students, as both schools have so far expressed an interest in making referrals for their year 12s.
01/05/2020	£5,000	ICONIC STEPS	Iconic Steps' take pride in being able to offer their alumni (disadvantaged young people who have completed one of their creative courses) job opportunities, mentoring and workshops with big media partners. Unfortunately, during lockdown, the media industry has been very hard hit with many free-lance staff losing work. Iconic Steps report 90% of their alumni (who were previously working) have now stopped.

This would incorporate 1:1 mentoring and goal setting, masterclasses, challenges, workshops and Q&As with industry experts. Helping low-income Lambeth young people to stay engaged in the sector by connecting with a community of like-minded peers and high profile professionals to share skills and experience for the next 12 weeks.
30/04/2020	£1,575 £19,084	FAST58	Due to COVID19 and a subsequent reduction in the number of charities distributing food to the street homeless, FAST58 is doubling their hot meal provision in the Waterloo area.

Beneficiaries will all be Lambeth resident adults with learning difficulties or young people who are known to have safeguarding concerns (e..g parents with drink or drug addiction issues) but whose needs often change too quickly for social services to adequately respond. The project will build on an existing model that is currently supporting 15 individuals per week, taking the total number receiving this flexible support for the next 10 weeks to 50 each week, around 40% of these are estimated to be young people.

As High Trees will also continue to offer education, employment and well-being services online or via the phone they report they also require funding to upgrade their server and build online systems that support this delivery model.
