The Foundation is designed to build on the success of Sir Simon’s ‘One City’ policy –
a landmark initiative that aimed to provide young people with education and training.

Over the last 12 months we supported the following:- 

• Funding four students from low-income families at university with Sir Simon Milton Scholarships and Bursaries at the Universities of Warwick, Loughborough and Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge.  .    
• Continued our support to Real Action, a charity providing literacy classes for young people living in the Mozart area.  
• Began two new major strategic partnerships worth £800,000 over the next five years: -

London Youth – which will enable young people to explore, engage with, and enjoy the creative arts through the Sir Simon Milton Foundation Young Creators Programme, helping to build confidence, life-skills and communication skills.  

 

Brilliant Club – supporting two key activities

•  the ‘Join the Dots’ Programme – is supporting 50 students each year from Westminster to develop key university study strategies, academic self-efficacy and sense of belonging at university through 121 and group coaching.
•  Sir Simon Milton Bursary – which is providing bursaries to 50 disadvantaged students each who face the additional financial pressure of living and studying in one of the most expensive areas of the country.
