The CVC Foundation has announced strategic new grants to three UK-based charities: Resurgo Trust, AllChild and Greenhouse Sports.
Aligned with the Foundation’s pillars of Education, Employability, Entrepreneurship, and Venture Philanthropy, the funding supports scalable, community-led initiatives that deliver measurable, long-term impact and is part of CVC Foundation’s commitment to empowering young people and helping tackle socio-economic barriers to success.
Each partnership reflects the Foundation’s commitment to backing scalable solutions that create lasting change where it is needed most.
- Resurgo Trust will use the funding to expand its Spear Programme, a 12-month employability initiative for 16–24-year-olds not in education, employment, or training (NEET) and face significant barriers. To date they have worked with over 11,000 young people and 75% of those who complete the programme, move into education or employment within a year of completion.
- AllChild will grow its Impact Programme, which places Link Workers (trusted adults) in schools to deliver personalized plans of support and opportunity to children and young people at a tipping point of need, to enable them to build the social, emotional and academic skills they need to flourish. Currently reaching c.1,700 children annually in West London and Wigan, the initiative mobilises communities to deliver a connected ecosystem of support between schools, families, local organisations and support services.
- Greenhouse Sports will place a full-time Coach-Mentor at a Westminster secondary school. Through structured sports, mentoring, and enrichment, the programme will support over 120 students in building resilience and life skills.
Commenting on the announcement, Kate Butchart, Director of the CVC Foundation, said: “We are delighted to support organisations that are making a tangible, lasting difference in the lives of young people across the UK. By investing in scalable, community-led programmes with a proven track record, we’re helping to create meaningful pathways to opportunity. These partnerships also open up valuable opportunities for our colleagues to contribute directly whether through volunteering, mentoring, or broader engagement.”
