Since 2006 C2C have assisted our five core charities: LandAid, Tom's Trust, Sarah Matheson Trust, Article 25 and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
Landaid is the charity of the UK property sector from which its support is drawn. As a Charitable Trust, LandAid makes grants to other charities to suport a variety of work usually connected with homelessness
Toms Trust: Funds received from C2C in 2009 went to part fund a new teacher at Kids Company. They provide practical, emotional and educational support to 13,500 vulnerable inner-city children and young people in London.
The Duke of Edinburgh's is a charity that inspires, guides and supports young people in their self development. They help young people from every possible background to gain the attitudes and skills needed to succeed in life. Many of these young people face a lack of opportunity for education and training and taking part in the DofE can not only divert them from antisocial behaviour, but help them to develop skills that are useful for gaining employment
The Sarah Matheson Trust for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) provides information and support to those living with MSA, their families, carers and health care professionals. This support is provided through a telephone and email helpline run by Specialist Nurses, regional support groups and seminars for health care professionals. The Trust also funds research into the possible causes of MSA and its treatment
620 million children do not have decent or safe housing to live in. Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the only article referring to the built environment. It says that adequate housing and shelter are a fundamental human right. The charity Article 25 works to build better wherever there is disaster, poverty or need.
