This year, we are getting ready for another great summer at West London Zone. Providing opportunities and experiences to children and families on our programme enables us to carry on building relationships with young people, promote emotional wellbeing and help prepare children for the new term. To continue this support, this year we’re participating in The Childhood Trust Champion’s for Children campaign.

From 6 - 20 June, every donation you make will be doubled!

Although our Link Workers are based in schools, our work rarely ends at the school gate. As we partner with many different organisations and charities, we are able to introduce young people to exciting opportunities and experiences that might not be readily accessible to them – activities that are looked forward to every year.

Donating via this campaign will help us to provide young people access to opportunities like football training with the Queen’s Park Rangers, drama sessions and arts and crafts, as well as a range of trips and visits to London Landmarks such as the London Zoo and the Tower of London. Every child should be able to create positive summer memories and we want to help in creating the space for them to do so. Within our Zone, including Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, Brent and Westminster, 1 in 5 children do not have access to the opportunities and support they need to thrive, despite living in an area housing some of the wealthiest streets in the country.

Summer memories with WLZ

  

The 6-week summer holiday should be an opportunity for fun and excitement and through our extra support, we feel we can only enhance the wellbeing of young people, so they can continue to progress socially, emotionally and academically when they return to school. We want children and families to look back fondly on their summers with us; the new things they learnt, the friends they made and the funny memories they gained and with your help we can make that happen. 

If you would like to help us create summer memories for the children and families on our programme, donate via The Big Give to have your donation doubled! Alternatively, if you would like to help us raise awareness, head over to our Instagram @westlondonzone and share your favourite summer memory, using the hashtag #WLZSummerMemories. 

If you would rather donate directly via our website to support our ongoing work with young people please click here. Please note donations made through this link will not be doubled.
