Launch of funding to tackle child poverty (service 53)

London Councils is seeking applications to deliver services to tackle
child poverty.

London Councils intends to fund one or two organisations to deliver
this service. £400,000 is available per year. The successful
organisation/s will target beneficiaries living in social housing
where there are high levels of worklessness and poverty.

The service will provide a holistic approach for families with
multiple barriers to exiting poverty, working with both parents and
their children. The service will focus on families with multiple
barriers to accessing employment, achieving at school and exiting
poverty.

The service should be delivered in a small geographical area affected
by high levels of deprivation. The area of benefit needs to cover two
boroughs, such as a housing estate or primary school which is split
over a borough boundary, but with a strong local focus on a small
geographical area.
