Access to opportunities is at the core of the Foundation’s activities and is reflected in its past local and international work and direct project work with young people.

The Attlee A level Academy

The development of the Attlee A level Academy in Tower Hamlets, New City College, Arbour Square is a multi-purpose complex with a well-equipped campus, featuring state-of-the-art classrooms, advanced laboratories, and dedicated spaces for collaborative learning. Our facilities are designed to provide students with an enriching and conducive environment for academic growth.

Bursaries

The Foundation will be providing deserving young people with bursaries to help sustain them whilst undertaking university degrees.

Working closely with the Attlee A-Level Academy to identify suitable candidates, the students will be given £3000 for first year expenses, followed by £1000 per year towards ongoing costs, subject to satisfactory performance.

Funding is in place and with additional support from the Aldgate and All Hallows Trust the first bursaries will commence in 2024.  Please note, with so many possible recipients, there is always a need for further donations.

The Foundation also works closely with and assistance from Queen Mary University London.
