Supporting Hackney: The Happy and Healthy Trust

We’re delighted to report that one of our project grants has been received by The Happy and Healthy Trust. The organisation runs breakfast clubs for disadvantaged young people across Hackney, East London. 🥐

We know that the escalating cost of living crisis has intensified the struggles of vulnerable families, resulting in increased demand for food and other essential supplies. This project addresses this critical need among families living below the poverty line and residing in temporary housing. It seeks to provide a safe space and nutritional support for children facing hunger and emotional strain.

The Happy and Healthy Trust say:

‘Our mission is to empower and uplift young people, nurturing their growth and enabling them to flourish. We are dedicated to providing comprehensive support in the realms of physical, educational and emotional well-being. Our commitment lies in creating equal opportunities for those who are most vulnerable, ensuring that no individual is left behind.’

The Stef & Philips Foundation hopes that this support will help to minimise the number of children skipping breakfast daily and combat the challenges exacerbated by poverty and social isolation.
