We are delighted to announce that we are a Founder Member of Connecting Futures, a brand new corporate membership programme developed by Coram’s Fields.
Coram’s Fields is a registered charity in Camden providing services including a Nursery, Out of School Club, Under 5’s Drop-In and free Youth and Sports Programmes. Their seven-acre park, including football pitches and a basketball court, is an essential community hub where children and young people feel safe and at home. Their facilities and services are a lifeline for thousands of families across our local community, where four in ten children live in poverty.
Connecting Futures is for organisations wanting to contribute to the futures of children and young people in central London. Our commitment will provide young people with safe spaces where they can build meaningful relationships and improve their wellbeing. We’ll be working with the team at Coram’s Fields to help young people broaden their horizons and improve their employment prospects.
"The Bedford Estates has owned, developed and cared for much of Bloomsbury since 1669. As such, we are deeply committed to the area, its heritage and its community. The Connecting Futures programme offers us the opportunity to help local young people to think about careers in the real estate sector, access new opportunities and build the skills to help create a future for themselves." - Simon Elmer, Steward, The Bedford Estates.
As a Founder Member, we’re investing in our local community and ensuring children and young people are not left behind as we emerge from the pandemic.
“Coram’s Fields are extremely grateful to have the support of The Bedford Estates. Connecting Futures is all about giving local young people connections and opportunities to help them reach their potential, which they wouldn’t otherwise have access to. The support of The Bedford Estates will help local young people to build a better future and also help to provide essential services and facilities at Coram’s Fields for our community.” – Victoria Lewis, Fundraising Manager, Coram’s Fields.
