We’re delighted to have the support of our neighbours, the Pears Foundation!

From supporting first-time parents navigate the challenges of parenthood to creating more systemic changes in our local neighbourhood with young people, the flexible and long-term nature of Pears Foundation’s support helps us make a difference for 1860 children, young people and families each year.

Pears have supported us to:

  • Improve young people’s mental health leading to increased confidence and self esteem and better engagement in school .
  • Develop new skills and make new connections, leading to increased inclusion and a stronger sense of belonging.
  • Upkeep the Winch’s facilities for the benefit of our local community and
  • Plan for our move to our new community facility at 100 Avenue Road.

Alongside their commitment of unrestricted funding, Pears Foundation also provide additional assistance to the Winch. We are able to use the Pears Hub. Their offices in West Hampstead provides the perfect space for our project teams, young people and trustees to get together, reflect and plan our provision. They also offer a range of fantastic free master classes and networking opportunities.

At the Winch, we really value the commitment of local supporters, like Pears Foundation, who back charities in our shared neighbourhoods.

We look forward to working with Pears Foundation in the coming years, creating valuable impact and an exciting neighbourhood for Camden’s children, young people and families.
