Sinking and Swimming
The LankellyChase Foundation has been collaborating with 12 grant making charitable trusts to support the Young Foundation to produce a new report to explore unmet needs in Britain today. The full report and a summary of “Sinking and Swimming – Understanding Britain’s Unmet Needs” is available from the Young Foundation website www.youngfoundation.org and was launched in December 2009
The study provides an overview of where the most acute needs are in Britain today, and which needs may become more pressing in the future. It looks at why some people can cope with shocks and setbacks and others can’t, and at the implications for policy, philanthropy and public action.
Plunkett Foundation
In September 2009 the Foundation agreed a grant of £30,000 over three years to the Plunkett Foundation to help them with the administration of the Village Core Programme. The scheme is underpinned by a major grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and by loan finance provided by Co-operative & Community Finance.
