One to One Children's Fund
At a glance
Key takeaways
- With annual giving of £13,209, requests should be modest, and no grant range is stated to suggest more.
- Work fits best if it addresses child and maternal health among vulnerable communities, especially in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, or leadership for young people from refugee and asylum-seeker backgrounds in the UK.
- No application process is published, so start with the contact given for getting in touch and show that your proposal meets the charity's strategy and objectives, which it says proposals should do.
- Its stated priority is worldwide, but the two focus areas named are the ones to test your work against.
- Nothing published says whether it is competitive or relationship-led, so do not assume either.
Overview
One to One Children's Fund is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1086159).
One to One Children's Fund was founded in the aftermath of the war in Kosovo, when it provided post-trauma counselling and trained child psychotherapists. It exists to relieve suffering, hardship and neglect among children and young persons anywhere in the world, and its core objective is to improve the life chances of children and young people affected by dislocation, poverty and chronic illness, such as HIV, by addressing core gaps in their healthcare. It currently has two key focus areas: the Enable programme, which works to improve child and maternal health among vulnerable communities in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, and a programme empowering young refugee leaders in the UK. Its annual giving is £13,209.

Priority Areas
One to One Children’s Fund focuses on improving the health, education and livelihoods of women, children and vulnerable families in underserved communities through sustainable, community-led solutions.

It delivers in-home healthcare and support to mothers and babies, and leadership programmes for young people from refugee and asylum-seeker backgrounds.
