Our Patrons don’t just financially support our mission to tackle child poverty in London – they become an integral part of it. Could you join them?
This year, we are excited to launch our brand new fundraising initiative, The Firefly Festive Forest. We will be transforming Sloane Street into a beautiful forest of spectacular, artist-designed Christmas trees from 12 November to 1 December, with two of the trees also housed at Sotheby’s, New Bond Street. Created by a cohort of celebrated international artists, brands and designers, including Richard Hudson, Charlotte Colbert, Roksanda Illincic, Tom Faulkner, Charlotte Tilbury and Patrick Mavros, the forest will offer a magical festive experience for the public to enjoy, with each of the trees available to buy. To find out more, and to bid on one of our trees, please visit our dedicated auction site.
We’ve supported Let Me Know to educate children in schools and local communities about the signs of unhealthy relationships.
Our funding has made it possible for The Kids Network to support London’s children with their mental health during the transition from primary to secondary school.
Thanks to our funding, 20/20 Levels is offering mentoring and workshops to young people from Black and other ethnic minority backgrounds who are at risk of being or are unemployed.
WE LOVE WORKING WITH QUINTESSENTIALLY FOUNDATION
“The financial support is invaluable, but the connections, training and additional support in helping us to strengthen the organisation is also greatly appreciated and very valuable.”

No young person should have their future defined by the circumstances they were born into. Yet the reality for care-experienced young people is deeply concerning:
👉 50% of children in care have a diagnosed mental health disorder – compared with 20% of their peers. 👉 Just 14% achieve five good GCSEs, including English and Maths, against a national average of 52%. 👉 One in three care leavers experiences homelessness within just 18 months. These aren't just statistics. They represent young people facing barriers, disadvantage...
