Young Camden Foundation is a registered charity and membership organisation, set up in 2017 to address the growing uncertainty of long-term investment in the children and young people sector in Camden, and the need to build more cross-sector partnerships.
YCF is a second-tier organisation and has awarded over £2m to local Camden-based organisations and has over 130 members working directly with children and young people.
Our funded projects have benefited over 20,000 of those who are most in need and we want to add to this number every year. We aim to provide a new model of local support for our members, which includes building capacity and better equipping the community with resources and funding, connecting and working with organisations to develop new and entrepreneurial approaches to supporting young people and championing critical issues facing the local community.
YCF is a trusted delivery partner of Camden Council ,and runs the Department for Education funded Holiday, Activities and Food programme across the borough.
Young Camden Foundation is also part of the national Young People’s Foundations Trust model and has sister organisations across a number of different London boroughs. We aim to encourage and assist our members, partners and supporters in connecting and working together to form innovative and sustainable opportunities for young people in Camden.
