Every Child A Chance

The Every Child a Chance Trust aims to unlock the educational potential of socially disadvantaged children through the development and promotion of evidence-based, early intervention programmes.

The Trust was established in 2007. It  grew out of the outstandingly successful Every Child a Reader project , which showed that with the right intervention it is possible to tackle the literacy difficulties which blight many children’s lives This three-year £10m scheme, now  being rolled out nationally,  was funded by a partnership of businesses and charitable trusts with matched funding from government.

The Trust was established to build on the power of this partnership, to transform the lives of individuals, document the long-term impact of early interventions on communities and prove the economic case for early investment – and as a result secure pick up of the charity’s programmes at a national and local level.

Every Child a Chance is pro-active in seeking projects to fund and regrets that it is not in a position to respond to unsolicited grant applications.
