About Young Westminster Foundation

Young Westminster Foundation brings together youth organisations, young people, businesses, Westminster City Council, schools and the wider community to create the best opportunities for young people in Westminster, London. The Foundation raises money for a community of over 120 youth clubs and organisations across the borough of Westminster, from Pimlico in the south to Queen's Park in the north. All driven by their passion for providing the very best opportunities for local young people.

All donations, big & small, will be used to fund the life-changing work of these organisations around some of the most pressing issues for young Londoners - from emotional health and wellbeing to youth violence to employment and education. Your support helps to ensure that all young people in Westminster can grow up healthy, safe and happy.
