John Lyon’s Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 (or up to 30 for young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities) who live in nine boroughs in North and West London: Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Kensington & Chelsea, and the Cities of London and Westminster. Since 1991, we have been committed to transforming the lives of children and young people by creating opportunities to learn, grow, and develop through education. John Lyon’s Charity has distributed over £208 million in grants to a range of organisations that seek to promote the life chances of children and young people through education, with around £15 million in grants distributed each year.
Our 2024 Annual Report is now live!
We are pleased to announce that our 2024 Annual Report, titled Adapting and Advancing: Three Years of Home-School-Community, is now available. This year’s report marks a significant milestone as we reached the halfway point of our six-year Home-School-Community Strategy (HSC), which began in April 2021.
Whilst also celebrating the significant accomplishments of the past year, the report focuses on the Charity’s HSC Covid-19 response strategy, providing an overview of the progress made over the last three years and offering a detailed analysis of each HSC Fund.
Using films and interviews with our grantees to bring the report to life, we delve into how and where our grants have been distributed, the outcomes achieved so far, and how we’ve adapted to evolving needs and challenges – all while strengthening the vital connections between the three most significant areas of a child’s life: their home, school, and community.
We invite you to explore the full annual report via the link below, and we hope that you find it informative, inspiring and insightful!

The team at John Lyon’s Charity wish you a wonderful festive season, and we look forward to what the new year will bring! 🌟
Please be aware that the office will be closed from 5pm on Friday 20th December and operations will resume as normal from 9am on Thursday 2nd January.
The John Lyon's Charity team had a fantastic away day at @Cartoonmuseumuk on Wednesday, where we enjoyed an interesting tour of the museum and an engaging cartooning workshop. It was wonderful to see everyone unleashing their creativity and having fun in the process! 🎨🌟
This morning, we had the pleasure of hosting a networking workshop at @fairshotcafe that brought together 8 organisations working with Young Carers across the Beneficial Area. The event aimed to facilitate the sharing of best practices, explore challenges and inspire connections.
Its great to be able to work with children and families at Stonebridge Primary School in Brent this term to co-write songs with the talented Georgia Turner and to share the songs with them last week
Thanks to @youthmusic and @JohnLyonCharity for their support
