Summary of Disadvantaged Children programmes
Trustees reviewed the whole of their grant-making to Disadvantaged Children in 2007, and have decided to wind down their support for projects in this area. They aim to do this in a constructive, measured way and are therefore discussing how best to provide a final round of support for key projects which are worth continuing and which have a chance of producing real, systemic change.
PLEASE NOTE TRUSTEES ARE NOT CONSIDERING ANY FURTHER APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING IN THIS AREA.
