youngealingfoundation.org.ukAbout Young Ealing Foundation
Young Ealing Foundation is an independent UK-registered charity established in 2017, serving as a hub for grassroots youth organisations in the London Borough of Ealing. Its mission is to empower children and young people aged 0–25 to lead happy, safe, and fulfilled lives, particularly those facing poverty and disadvantage. The Foundation was created to connect, equip, and strengthen small local charities, supporters, and decision-makers, operating with core values of independence, impartiality, trust, bravery, and genuine partnership. It promotes non-competitive collaboration, amplifies youth voices through programmes like Ealing Young Champions, and responds to crises by building capacity and driving systemic change.
What Young Ealing Foundation funds
The Foundation exclusively funds youth-focused projects that benefit disadvantaged young people in Ealing. Priority areas include mental health interventions, poverty alleviation (such as food hubs), youth violence prevention, tackling social exclusion, SEND support, safeguarding, diversionary activities, social action campaigns, and organisational sustainability. Grants support activities like youth clubs, mental health schemes, and joint neighbourhood initiatives in areas such as Southall and Northolt.
