Young Roots is proud of the strong, supportive and purposeful relationships we have developed with a large number of Trusts and Foundations. 

The grants we receive help us to make a tangible difference to the lives of the many young refugees we work with across London. 

We have a deep understanding of the complex challenges young refugees face in their daily lives and we work with them, from the basis of belief, trusted relationships and with a strengths-based approach, to fulfil their potential.

The funding we receive changes lives in important ways, helping us work with young refugees, in collaboration with expert partners, to provide holistic support at the earliest opportunity and throughout the transition from childhood to adulthood. We support young people to understand and navigate their changing rights and entitlements, as well as supporting their emotional development during these crucial years.

Trusts and Foundations choose to work with us because of our

  • Deep knowledge and extensive understanding of the needs and challenges faced by young refugees   

  • Excellent 17-year track-record of delivering high-quality youth activities and services 

  • Culture of learning evidenced through our participatory approach with young people, our collaborative approach with partners, and our willingness to continuously reflect and improve through our daily practice and external evaluations.  

  • Commitment to making an impactful difference to the lives and experiences of young refugees 

  • Team of specialist, experienced and respected staff 

  • Readiness to develop collaborative, supportive and purposeful relationships with our funders
