ABOUT US
Our vision is of a society where every young person CAN achieve their full potential
Our Mission
Helping young people see they can achieve their full potential
To achieve this, The Paul Canoville Foundation sets out to support young people facing adversity, including those that are:
- eligible for “free school meals” who may lack access to sport or development opportunities that other children have
- impacted by crime, gang affiliation, poor school attendance or challenges with behaviour
- facing discrimination or harassment due to a Protected Characteristic or because they are part of an under-represented group or marginalised community
- needing support with a change in their life path; such as sportspeople released from academies, unsigned musicians, those leaving higher education before completing studies or changing career paths.
We aim to foster strong partner relationships and generate sufficient funding, to create programmes and deliver resources that will assist the groups above, to surmount their challenges and achieve their full potential.
Our Vision
We will know our mission is being achieved if we:
- Have helped our partner schools attendance up, drive bad behaviour down and increase sensibility and knowledge around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
- Have regular programmes within at least one London Borough, offering recreational and developmental opportunities
- Provide tangible support through information, materials and signposting to partners and projects that assist young people with their next steps in life.
