St Clement and St James Community Project

St Clement and St James is based in W11, North Kensington.  It provides a large range of educational support to local children, supporting those from disadvantaged backgrounds.  Many of their users have English as a second language.

They run a wide range of programmes that include:

Into University- support for disadvantaged young people to consider university as a further educational option.  Support includes mentoring, academic support and aspirational workshops.  Into University has excellent links with Imperial College.
Carnival Arts- runs every weekday during the school summer holidays and provides local children with the opportunity to make costumes for the Notting Hill Carnival in August.

We provided a grant to contribute to equipping a new learning space that St Clement and St James have recently developed.  This space provides additional space for mentoring meetings and additional IT equipment.
