Protecting the sector
in a time of crisis
John Lyon’s Charity Annual Report 2021
We walk beside you
It is fair to say that 2020 delivered a year that no one had anticipated or prepared for. The pandemic sent shockwaves across the world, plunging us all into lockdown and forcing many charities to close their doors.
£12.22m
£900k
Just over £900K in emergency funds were awarded to 60 organisations who have been most severely affected by the global pandemic.
£329k
66 Covid School Holiday Activity Fund grants awarded to organisations across the Beneficial Area.
*These figures represent grants approved in 2020/21. Total figures include grant payments approved for more than one year.

Changing delivery: From in person to online
Along with the rest of the world, John Lyon’s Charity quickly adapted to a new way of working when the threat of Covid-19 made its impact felt. Despite lockdown, the Charity remained ‘business as usual’ and continued to distribute emergency grants alongside our regular grant-giving as quickly and professionally as possible.
As the days of lockdown turned into weeks, our groups also worked incredibly efficiently and effectively to change their operations, tailor their outputs and transfer their way of working online. This transition was also achieved at great speed, with new safeguarding considerations put in place as well as securing training opportunities to ensure staff members were able to work as quickly as possible in response to the pandemic. Their purpose during this uncertain period was to ensure the many children and young people who were desperately in need of their resources were reached and supported.
Below are two key examples of how our groups imaginatively went from delivering their operations in person to online.
Snowbility has been funded by John Lyon’s Charity since 2019 and has gone from strength to strength.
It is a snow sports delivery organisation that puts children and young people with additional needs and mental health challenges at the heart of its tailored ski and snowboard coaching.
Since 2009, The Primary Shakespeare Company (PSC) has been sending theatre practitioners into London primary schools, investigating and performing Shakespeare’s plays and language with teachers and their pupils.
Each year they choose a different Shakespeare play around which to centre their work, which spans a term and culminates in public performances during their Shakespeare Festivals. For 2020, PSC chose one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays – The Tempest.
Adapting to the current climate in a time of crisis
Like everyone in the sector – and beyond – the ‘stay at home’ instruction in March 2020 was a big adjustment for the entire John Lyon’s Charity Team.
We were fortunate that the transition to home working was relatively seamless, but we were all acutely aware that we were about to lose something which was core to our approach – ‘Grantmaking by walking around’. How could we ensure that we continued to support our grantees and maintain good relationships when we were no longer visible in the way we had all grown used to?
Emergency Response
Organisations who broadened their core offer
Just a few weeks after lockdown was announced, the pan London membership body for Funders – London Funders – issued a statement, which John Lyon’s Charity was one of the first organisations to sign up to.
The ‘We Stand with the Sector” statement made clear that the funding community would be as flexible and understanding as possible in this time of national crisis, working with grantees to ensure they felt supported to be able to respond to their local communities. The statement also reassured grantees and organisations that funders would understand the additional pressures that voluntary sector finances would be under at this time. The Charity was one of the initial five funders to sign up to the London Funders Pledge, and all eight Young Peoples Foundations signed up within the first two days.
Through the London Community Response Fund (LCRF) and coordinated by London Funders, we pledged £1M of emergency funding to groups and communities in need with funds importantly being ringfenced to support grantees over the summer.
In total, John Lyon’s Charity awarded just over £900K of emergency funding to sixty organisations working with children and young people in the Charity’s Beneficial Area. The focus was on those groups most severely affected by the global pandemic. Grants supported organisations with practical support like the provision of food, mobile phones and other digital devices as well as helping organisations adapt their services so that they could continue to deliver their work safely and efficiently to as many young people as possible. Some groups also recognised the needs of their community requiring them to broaden their core offer to help protect where they operate in and support the children and young people within it.
Below are three key examples of how our groups adapted their core offer to continue to deliver to those who needed it most with funding from John Lyon’s Charity.
BARAKA: North Kensington’s ‘local heroes’
For the young people of North Kensington, the announcement of lockdown in March 2020 was tough. With many families living in cramped, overcrowded accommodation with little outdoor space, this was a frustrating time for young people, particularly men and boys.
Institute of Imagination: expanding the world of imagination
The long-term disruption Covid-19 has caused to the lives of children and young people has been immeasurable. From missing school to missing friends, life has been very difficult. The Institute of Imagination is a charity encouraging creative learning through events, training, partnerships and research and when lockdown was announced fell into an existential crisis, like so many others.
Highgate Newtown Community Centre: Feeding the community
At the beginning of 2020, Highgate Newtown Community Centre (HNCC) was in the midst of change. The organisation itself was about to move into a new community centre, marking a new chapter for the organisation, and was at that point operating its services from six community-based churches in North London.
Responding swiftly to the local needs of the young during Covid 19:
The Young People’s Foundations and their networks’ response in John Lyon’s Charity’s Beneficial Area
When the Charity established the first Young People’s Foundations (YPF) with core funding, it was in response to a noticeable decline in the children and young people’s sector in the Charity’s Beneficial Area. This had been caused in part by the impact of austerity on the funding of youth services at a local level and of the support networks that kept the sector talking and working with one another…
Impact of Covid-19: The need for emergency funding
As lockdown went on, it became abundantly clear how vital emergency funding was for grassroots charities. As well as ringing-fencing over a million pounds in emergency funding, we remained in close contact with as many groups as possible. Through conversations with grantees over the summer, the Charity heard many harrowing stories of children and young people who had endured very difficult and challenging situations throughout the lockdown period. Tales of appalling levels of domestic abuse in the home were coming to light, recruitment into gangs, the inability to learn online due to lack of home-based computers and laptops, and the escalation of new or existing mental health concerns. It was clear from the Charity’s on-going conversations and research that lockdown had magnified pre-existing issues and presented organisations with a raft of new problems to deal with.
To ensure these grassroots charities were heard, John Lyon’s Charity compiled statements from a number of organisations who, in the face of unprecedented problems, worked incredibly hard to deliver their services to vulnerable children and young people. Their aims were to help alleviate the problems of abuse, crime and exclusion which were highlighted and to provide positive activities for young people whose lives had been very bleak.
Ignite Youth – supporting vulnerable young people around the clock
Ignite Youth is a youth club based in Harrow which provides valuable support and encouragement for young people in the area, especially ones who find themselves in trouble, need help re-engaging with education and finding routes into employment.
They also work with young people to move away from anti-social behaviour, gang involvement and exploitative relationships. Ignite runs a programme of one-to-one mentoring, prison pathway support for young people leaving custody, employment support, sports, small group activities and outreach youth work.
Action on Disability – the importance of emergency funding
Action on Disability (AOD) offers free and independent benefits advice and assistance to disabled adults and children of all ages, including parents and carers of disabled children, living in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
AOD is particularly proud of its association with the Lyric Theatre and Dance West and had been making plans to run a new performing arts project in 2020.
What can be achieved through collaboration
The London Community Response Fund (LCRF) that emerged in response to the Covid-19 pandemic is one of the largest, multi-funder crisis responses of its kind to take place in the UK.
Led and convened by London Funders, this emergency funding response was modelled around an approach to collaborative grant-making that had been pioneered by John Lyon’s Charity just three years earlier in response to the Grenfell Tower Disaster.
