How Young People Find Us

As a small charity, we have found that we can have a larger impact by partnering with selected and well-respected authorities for the referral of young people to Renaissance Foundation. Instead of directing much-needed funds and energy to the selection process, working with partner organisations means that we can better utilise our time and resources to focus on supporting our participants.

Our partners have a wealth of experience and expertise in the three groups with which Renaissance Foundation works, and their involvement with young people means they can effectively select those most in need.

We currently work with three hospitals which refer young patients: Evelina Children’s Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital. Young carers are referred to us by two national charities: Re-Think Mental Health and Family Action. Finally, school pupils at risk are identified by St. Paul’s Way Trust School in Tower Hamlets.
