The Ellis Campbell Foundation

Bridging the gap between education and employment

We are a fifth generation charitable foundation which has been supporting charities and organisations across London, Hampshire and Perthshire for over 25 years.

From small youth and community groups to larger national institutions, we are proud to be supporting many transformational projects that are committed to making a positive impact and are addressing issues in the areas of Youth and Education. The Foundation has a particular interest in projects delivering services to bridge the gap between education and employment for disadvantaged young people aged 16 to 25.

All of us here at Straight Talking would like to thank the trustees of Ellis Campbell Charitable Foundation for supporting young parents. We are delighted that you see the importance of our work, despite the unpopularity of our cause. Your support will help teenage parents on their journey for employment with Straight Talking through to their financial independence and simultaneously their work in preventing pupils from going town the sam e route.

I write to thank the Trustees for their generous grant which will help young students to access vital courses, books and course materials which would otherwise be unavailable to them. This grant is important to PET not only for the financial support it represents, but because is also demonstrates the faith the Trustees have in our work and the learners we support.
