About Harrow Club
Our vision is a society where all children and young people, regardless of background, can grow and fulfil their potential in a safe and supportive community.
Our Mission
Since 1883, the Harrow Club has been anchored in the local community working with some of the most marginalised young people in West London to provide accessible and high-quality opportunities, enabling them to maximise their life chances and to enhance their personal development. We are not afraid to work at the most challenging fringes of our community in order to make the greatest impact.
Through creative, cutting-edge projects delivered by an experienced, committed team, we provide learning opportunities, routes to employment and critically increased resilience and well-being for young people aged 8 to 24.
Working Together
We believe in working in partnership with other organisations committed to the same values as us, pooling our resources, ideas and enthusiasm. Together we can continue with our commitment to improving youth provision in the local area.
We would not have been able to achieve the success that we have without the support of our funders and partners, ranging from local authorities to private companies and individuals, and we are deeply grateful for their ongoing help and commitment to the Harrow Club.
Working with children and families in need…
We have over 1,000 members with our clubs based in areas of London in the bottom 20% of the most deprived communities in the country.
• 95% are eligible for free school meals
• 80% come from ethnic minority backgrounds
• 65% come from single parent households
• Over 25% have a diagnosed learning disability, or a behavioural or mental health condition
In light of cuts to local authority youth services, we need support and funding more than ever before to ensure we continue to support the most vulnerable sectors of our community. Investing in young people, with time or money, is an investment in the future.
Recovering from the Coronavirus pandemic will be especially challenging for the families we work with who were already suffering a range of challenges and deprivation before the crisis.
