Doorstep Library
Mental Health Foundation
Thames Reach
“Doorstep Library is delighted to have been selected as one of the Lloyd’s of London Foundation’s charity partners for 2023. With one in four 11-year-olds leaving primary school unable to read or write properly, Doorstep Library recruits and trains home and online reading volunteers to bring the magic of books and the joy of reading directly into the homes of children, either in person or online, who need our support. With Lloyd’s of London’s support we hope to be able to change the story of many more children from across the capital.”Katie Bareham, CEO, Doorstep Library
“We are delighted to be partnering with Lloyd’s this year and to be receiving a grant for our programme U OK? from the Lloyd's of London Foundation along with brilliant staff support across the market. The cost-of-living crisis has had a huge impact on the nation’s wellbeing. The grant will allow us to protect the mental health of young people at this unprecedented time by continuing our vital work with universities and colleges. We work directly with student groups in the design and delivery U OK?, which equips students with the knowledge and confidence to look after their mental health and the mental health of their peers.”Mark Rowland, Chief Executive, The Mental Health Foundation
“Thames Reach are delighted to be one of Lloyd’s of London Foundation’s charity partners. This generous support will allow us to expand our work preventing homelessness, by helping people to maintain their tenancies, develop skills, find work, and gain confidence. By providing digital skills and financial resilience advice to almost 2,000 people, we will be able to work towards closing the social and digital exclusion gap, allowing people to become more independent through obtaining these skills.”Bill Tidnam CEO, Thames Reach
