Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation

Newcomen Collett Educational Foundation Grants for Schools and Other Organisations

Grants for schools and other organisations working with children and young people under 25 in the London Borough of Southwark, for equipment, extra-curricular activities and educational opportunities brought into Southwark schools and colleges. With about £100,000 a year to give, the Foundation rarely funds a whole project and usually expects other funders to be involved; it does not fund salaries or administration. Its 2025 grants to named organisations were mostly £1,500 to £2,000. The next deadline is 13 November 2026 for the 10 December Governors' meeting.

  • Salaries and administration costs
  • Any expenditure incurred before the date of the relevant Governors' meeting
