We are disappointed by the decision that John Lyon’s Charity has not been granted an exemption when others in the charitable sector have. While we support the principle of leasehold reform, this ruling has implications for how the Charity generates income.  

Please be assured that our commitment to funding vital grassroots services for children and young people remains unchanged. We are carefully reviewing the impact of this judgment and considering next steps to ensure we can continue to deliver on our mission.
