Pro-activity
The Foundation has a history of 'pro-actively' identifying and targeting important local needs that may not be reflected in applications. More than 30% of the Foundation's funding is currently allocated this way. This is central to the Foundation's approach to funding.
Over the past 10 years the Foundation has been involved in:
- supporting the establishment of 'Xaawaley', a new domestic violence service for Somali women in 2006, run in partnership with 3 Somali organisations
- supporting training for facilitators able to deliver parenting courses in community languages in the Canonbury area in 2006
- supporting an extension of youth services in the Canonbury area in 2006
- setting up the Canonbury Community Development Group in 2005 to help improve the quality of life for Canonbury residents
- supporting further development of SIAP services in the Coppenhagen area in partnership with The Mary Ward Legal Centre in 2005
- extending the South Islington Advice Project (SIAP) to Kings Cross in 2004
- setting up a writers in schools project in 2003
- developing a mental health service for young people aged 16 -25 in 2002
- encouraging funding applications and new services in the Kings Cross area in 2001-2002
- establishing the South Islington Advice Project to offer welfare rights advice to south Islington residents in Finsbury and Clerkenwell in 2000
