Helena Lawrence £60,000 over 3 years What it funded A place on the Walcot Apprenticeship Scheme


Helena is part of our Walcot Apprentice Scheme, a programme we developed which began in March 2009 and runs for three and a half years. It provides consistent and high quality support to a small group of Lambeth young people meeting our criteria. Helena wants to become qualified in Youth Work. In addition to her salary, our award also meets Helena’s child care costs.


Red Kite Originally £76,661 over 3 years What it funded Manage with Money Course: teaching adults financial literacy


We liked this application because of its proposal to teach financial literacy to adults in venues throughout Lambeth. Sometimes applications get through the assessment process but then run into trouble once the award has been made. This was an example of the project falling short of the agreed targets in Year 1. Following discussion with the grantee we decided to cease funding. In doing so we wanted to minimise the impact on those adults already involved and so offered a sum to help the project wind down in such a way as to best protect them. Not all organisations turn out to be able to deliver what they set out to do. Sometimes a project’s plans are unexpectedly blown off course by staffing or other organisational difficulties. Where this happens we try to help but only where the possibility of getting a project fully back on track is realistic.
