The need: Children from disadvantaged backgrounds have, on average, weaker Social and Emotional Learning skills, which is linked with poorer mental health, lower academic attainment, and poorer employment outcomes. Interventions that promote the development of these can lead to gains in academic performance.
Our portfolio partner: AllChild helps children and young people build the relationships and skills they need to get on track socially, emotionally, and academically to thrive in adulthood. AllChild's work spans across four London boroughs. In September 2024, AllChild expanded their communities of reach with their Impact Programmes launching in the communities of Leigh, Atherton, and Tyldesley in Wigan.
Our Impact: We’ve supported AllChild in helping shape their programme for maximum impact, develop their leadership team, and help secure a significant amount of co-investment funding to ensure their programme remains sustainable and can reach more than 1500 young people per year.
Impetus led us to ask critical questions about our model and our impact that we wouldn’t have asked ourselves.
