  • About

The GLF Schools’ Foundation is an initiative within GLF Schools which will provide opportunities for all young people within our schools to have exposure to opportunities and experiences regardless of their financial background. The Foundation aims to minimise the socio-economic barriers that exist preventing young children from exploring, experiencing, and enjoying a variety of beneficially healthy activities. Within our schools we have approximately 4,000 students - over 20% of our total students - who are recognised as disadvantaged. These are the students to whom we are initially focusing support in accessing a breadth of opportunities to help them exceed in life.

Within GLF Schools there are currently:

Over 19,000 students

Over 4,000 classified as Disadvantaged 

Over 3,000 receiving Free School Meals

Over 300 in the Social Care System

Access to experiences can be expensive, a cost some families do not have the luxury of accommodating in their finances.

Your donation will allow us to:

- Subsidise students from low socio-economic backgrounds to enable them to access opportunities and experiences outside of school through the Opportunity Fund.

- Deliver face to face inspirational sessions to students.

- Provide specialised teaching to all schools within GLF by linking with local clubs, companies, and businesses.

All donations will be used solely for the purpose of providing opportunities to children within GLF Schools.

If each family within the GLF community donated £1 a month, we would raise over £19,000 a month, over £220,000 a year. Imagine the number of children and young people whose lives we can make a difference to across our 43 schools.

Your support will make a huge difference. Donations of any amount are gratefully received and can be set up weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.
