Thanks to our listeners, fundraisers and corporate donors Capital’s Help a Capital Child is giving out its latest grants to 119 charities and voluntary groups helping London’s disadvantaged children and young people.

A total of £262,046 is being shared by groups running arts, dance, drama, music and sports activities, disability and illness projects, toy libraries, community groups, youth clubs, and much more.

Brent Play Association, one of the lucky projects that is to receive a £2,194 grant from Help a Capital Child in this round of funding, said:

“We would like to say a massive Thank You to Capital's Help a Capital Child for their donation for a wheelchair accessible Playhouse for our Centre here at Peppermint Heights. This equipment will give all the children and young people who have special needs the opportunity to have their very own outdoor play space, all year round, for socialising, role-play, and games, and we are happy to be able to enable wheelchair access. We're particularly grateful for our new grant after past funding for art materials which children (pictured) have been using at Stonebridge Adventure Playground.”

Help a Capital Child’s funding from this round will benefit 13,000 of the Capital’s less advantaged and most vulnerable children and young people. 

Over the past 38 years Help a Capital Child has raised over £25million and awarded more than 13,500 grants.
