Celebrating Thirty Years of Grant-Giving
Founded as a grant-giver in 1991 to enhance the life-chances of children and young people through education, John Lyon’s Charity has grown to become one of London’s largest independent funders within the Children & Young People’s sector. Starting off with only two part time members of staff and an available spend of £1.2million, the Charity has grown in both size and in stature with 15 members of staff working tirelessly to ensure that the annual spend of c.£13million goes to the groups and organisations who could benefit the most.
Over thirty years, a range of grants both big and small have been awarded to grassroots organisations across North and West London, resulting in a commitment of £200m to date. It is not just the financial investment in these organisations that has helped us create this reputation but also the way that we work with organisations and walk beside them to help them carry out their vital work to benefit their communities. Funding of these vital organisations has enabled many children to have had experiences and opportunities they simply wouldn’t have had otherwise, whether it’s bursary funding, internship opportunities, therapeutic support, going to the local youth or after-school clubs, or simply going to the beach for the very first time.
Below you will see a snapshot of the many inspiring grantees that John Lyon’s Charity has supported over the last thirty years. We have specifically chosen these groups to Lyonize as they represent a large chapter of the Charity’s growth and journey. Many of the groups below were awarded their first ever grant from John Lyon’s Charity and as a result have gone on to become the incredibly successful organisations they are today; others have worked with the Charity to evolve their project delivery, resulting in exciting and innovative opportunities for many children and young people both across North and West London; and one group simply wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the funding commitment from John Lyon’s Charity.
You can also further Lyonize with the Charity and see how funding has enhanced the lives of thousands of children and young people within the Charity’s Beneficial Area by looking at the Charity’s Throwback Thirty segment.
English National Ballet: From Young People to Young Professionals
We have always aimed to support and champion high quality, inclusive arts activities that widens access and participation for under-represented groups. As a result, we work with a number of institutions to allow them access to some of the greatest arts institutions in London.
Mousetrap: Opening doors for all to experience world-class theatre
John Lyon’s Charity is a firm supporter of the value in Theatre in Education and we have supported the most well-known theatres in London. A cornerstone of bringing the arts and young people together for many years is Mousetrap Theatre Projects.
Shepherds Bush Families Project: A home away from home
John Lyon’s Charity supports projects that prevent families from reaching crisis point, help develop parenting skills and provide support to those in the greatest of need. The Shepherds Bush Families Project (SBFP) is a community-based service that assists and supports parents in their role as caregivers.
Woodland Adventure Forest School Harrow: Inspiring learning in natural environments
Forest Schools have been growing in popularity. By immersing children holistically in the outdoors and natural environment, imaginative schools promote all aspects of child development and growth. John Lyon’s Charity has always supported the Forest School model. One inspiring example of this work is Woodland Adventure Forest School Harrow.
Education and Skills Development Group: A shining example of supplementary education
John Lyon’s Charity has long supported supplementary schools. These community-based initiatives provide additional education for children also attending mainstream schools. They are often geared towards providing specific language and cultural teaching for children from ethnic minorities. Education and Skills Development Group (ESDEG) is committed to improving the quality of education for disadvantaged children.
Brent Centre for Young People: Providing emotional and therapeutic support to young people
John Lyon’s Charity has always valued the work of organisations supporting children and young people with their mental health, awarding 219 grants totalling over £12m since 1991. The Brent Centre for Young People (BCYP) is the leading mental health charity for young people in North West London and one of the groups known to the Charity the longest.
Young People’s Foundations: A model of magnitude
Since its beginnings in 1578 as a road building and maintenance trust, John Lyon’s Charity has had a key focus on Infrastructure. However, since the Charity’s transformation into a Children and Youth funder in 1991, the infrastructure in question has not been roads, but voluntary sector infrastructure.
John Lyon’s Charity has always been a place-based funder and from the beginning we have prided ourselves on having a close ear to the ground. What became clear to us after 2010 is that we needed to do grant management differently to reflect the radically changed environment that our groups were working in.

Reflections on 30 years of grantmaking
Cathryn Pender has been with John Lyon’s Charity since 1991 and its Grants Director since 2008.
“When I think of it, I can’t quite believe I’ve been 30 years in one place, but honestly, it feels like five minutes; there has been so much to do! To keep having to do. So much to get done that it really is a life’s work, as it turns out.
“Back in 1991/92 when the Charity was established in its current form, everyone was crying out for funds, there simply was not enough of anything, of everything. It was hard. But look where we are now. Now is hard. Now is really hard. Now is really very hard indeed. Now is the rainy day that has so oft been spoken of by the voluntary sector and the Trust and Foundation world in which John Lyon’s Charity inhabits just one tiny bit.”
