Story
Woodrow High House is London Youth's residential learning centre creating powerful opportunities for over 6,000 young people every year. Outside the classroom, we work with young people beyond their normal environment with a lasting effect on personal and social development.
Our £1 million Wonderful Woodrow appeal is transforming every aspect of Woodrow High House inside and out. The vision for Wonderful Woodrow is to safeguard our superb house and grounds for the next 30 years so that young people from all backgrounds can continue to enjoy it.
If you go down to Woodrow today, you immediately sense a buzz of activity, people hard at work, change happening. Beyond the committed staff team working seven days a week to develop young people, there is scaffolding all round the house and skilled craftsmen up on the roof stripping and replacing slates. Inside carpenters are replacing worn out sash windows, the downstairs office is being redecorated and staff accommodation is being spruced up. The Woodrow team are very happy because their House is getting much needed tender loving care.
Wonderful Woodrow is about
- safeguarding this wonderful 350 year old House and grounds so that young people can continue to benefit from it for the next 30 years
- securing Woodrow’s long-term financial future so that we can stay on top of annual repairs
- providing a springboard for a range of improvements and developments to every aspect of London Youth’s work at Woodrow
