Help Local Young People in Harrow Thrive

Every child and young person deserves the chance to feel safe, supported and hopeful about their future. But across Harrow, many young people are facing real challenges with their mental health, safety, confidence and opportunities - and the local charities supporting them are under more pressure than ever.

Young Harrow Foundation exists to connect support where it’s needed most.

We work with over 200 grassroots charities and community organisations, many of them small, local groups deeply embedded in their communities. These organisations provide safe spaces, trusted mentors, emotional support, and life-changing opportunities. For many young people and families, they are a lifeline.

Right now, many of these charities are struggling. Funding has become harder to access, while demand for their support continues to grow. Your donation helps ensure they can continue to be there for the young people who need them most.

Your support goes where it matters most

We don’t guess where the need is - we listen.

Nearly 8,000 young people in Harrow have shared their experiences with us, helping us understand what it’s really like growing up in the borough today. Their voices directly shape where funding goes.

This year, your support will help fund local organisations working in areas young people told us matter most:

• Supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing

• Helping young people feel safe

• Improving future opportunities, careers and confidence

• Promoting digital wellbeing and online safety

• Removing barriers to physical activity and healthy lives

We are also prioritising support for young people who often face greater challenges, including young carers, refugees and asylum seekers, LGBTQ+ young people, and those with special educational needs.

How your donation makes a difference

Every pound donated through this page goes directly towards supporting local charities working with children and young people in Harrow.

Young Harrow Foundation uses these funds to provide small grants to trusted grassroots organisations in our network - helping them deliver vital support such as mentoring, youth clubs, mental health support, safe spaces and opportunities for young people to thrive.

These donations do not go towards our core running costs. They are distributed directly to local organisations where they are needed most, guided by our insight into young people’s needs and our close relationships with frontline charities.

This means your fundraising - whether through a bake sale, workplace event, personal challenge or community initiative - creates real, lasting impact for young people in your local community.
