Annual Review 2008
A review of our work in 2008 including work we funded during the year.
Posted 1 July 2009
Nigel Pantling, Chair of City Parochial Foundation and Trust for London launched our latest Annual Review at our summer reception.
"During the last 12 months the worst economic downturn that most Londoners have ever known has reached every corner of the capital," said Nigel Pantling. "For many of those close to poverty, the recession has meant a further slide towards deprivation".
"In the current clamour for political attention, the poor of London need champions more than ever," added Nigel. "We believe that independent charities like the City Parochial Foundation have a duty to speak and act on behalf of the disadvantaged".
He highlighted a number of the Foundation's initiatives in 2008, including our support for the Strangers into Citizens campaign, which supports undocumented migrants to improve their rights; the launch of London's Poverty Profile, a new resource measuring what progress has been made in relation to poverty, inequality and social exclusion in the capital; and the development of a new programme on strengthening community-based prevention work on female genital mutilation.
These initiatives and our other work are outlined in the Annual Review, which provides a brief overview of activity under each of the Foundation's and Trust's funding aims and provides details of who we funded in 2008.
