Twenty-four vulnerable students attending schools in the Fulham area are being supported by individual grants from the Foundation that will assist with aspects of their personal and educational development.

Covering items such as the purchase of school uniforms and shoes, essential equipment for use in class, help with the the cost of travel to school and access to additional meals, the grants will help students to improve their school attendance, participate more fully in class activity, to better access the curriculum and improve engagement with their peers. Increased levels of confidence and a sense of personal achievement will assist them to reach their full potential as young adults through their school experience.

Staff at the schools involved will be managing the individual grants and review students’ progress on a termly basis to enable continuing financial assistance to be directed where it is needed.
