Education
We know education is one of the best routes out of poverty, but often children in low-income families face extra challenges reaching their potential at school.
Last year, £47,000 of community grants helped disadvantaged pupils across Elmbridge access catch up programmes, mental health workshops and emotional support when moving to secondary school.
“Walton Charity makes a significant difference to our school community and the lives of the children. Without their generosity we would struggle to provide additional support for our children.”
20 local schools were awarded opportunities funds to support low-income families with food, uniform, school trips and other school-related costs.
See how support from our school opportunities fund helped take the pressure off Ethan’s family.
