WALCOT EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
Our area of benefit is coterminous with the London Borough of Lambeth (though we are an entirely independent foundation). We exist for the relief of poverty amongst Lambeth residents (mainly under 30 years of age) and we do this by promoting education (broadly defined). Our aim is to offer a 'hand up', not a 'hand out', and to 'tackle poverty by creating opportunity'.
