Why we exist
We work in West London - an area of deep inequality where 1 in 5children and young people aren’t getting the support they need to thrive. In our community, the existing support systems are not easily able to flex to the needs of individual children. Organisations often work in isolation and are not always able to work with those who could benefit from their help the most. West London Zone was inspired by the world’s first ‘children’s zone’ – the ground-breaking Harlem Children’s Zone (HCZ), later rolled out across 20 US states as President Obama’s ‘Promise Neighbourhoods’ programme. One of our founders visited Harlem Children’s Zone in 2011.
