Charities

Spring, summer and autumn terms 2024

The school is supporting two charities, the Little Village which collects donations of pre-loved items and passes them onto families who need them.

The Children’s Trust which is the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury.

We also support the school’s bursary fund.

Last year, the school supported Evelina Transplant Games Fund which is a charity that enables children who have had kidney transplants to attend the annual British Transplant Games. For some families this is their only break of the year and it enables the development of confidence and peer support where children can compete at sport on a level playing field.

We also supported The Orange Tree Theatre which is an amazing local resource to have and Unicorn children benefit from the summer Shakespeare scheme.

Little Village

We change lives through the power of sharing, reusing and connecting

Little Village makes a big difference to families with babies and young children living in poverty across London. Via our network of baby banks we pass on loved goods from one family to another – clothes, toys and equipment – so that many more babies and young children have the essential things they need to thrive. 

Families either visit a Little Village hub, or items are packed with care and delivered to their home. But it doesn’t stop there. We also connect families into a wider network of support, helping them to build and extend their own ‘village’. And we raise our voices for change; sharing the stark realities of too many children’s lives in London.

Thanks to the generous donations of loved items, precious time and money, since we launched in 2016, Little Village has supported more than 32,000 children.

Our values of love, solidarity, thriving and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do.

Children's Trust

We are the UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury and neurodisability. We deliver rehabilitation, education and community services through skilled teams who work with children and young people, and their families.

Every year 40,000 children in the UK are left with a brain injury as a result of an accident or illness and it can be devastating – they may no longer be able to walk, talk, stand, sit, or feed themselves – sometimes all of these abilities.

At The Children’s Trust, we aim to help rebuild as many of their skills as possible, as well as their self-esteem. A child’s confidence is central to that relearning.

We help children do this through play, exploration, laughter and having fun; things that are often absent when a child has limited mobility or has had a challenging time. By combining music, singing, arts and crafts, day trips and other activities, with therapy, healthcare and education, children do not focus on what they cannot do, they just do it and have fun.

Bursary fund

We have an established bursary fund and are most grateful to alumni and current parents who have given generously to help us keep this support going.
