Savills Thank You
It’s through the support of local businesses like Savills that Carney’s can continue to do their vital and impactful work within the local community. After serving the area for 30 years, Savills opened a dedicated Northcote Road estate and letting agents to add deeper local knowledge to broaden Savills strengths in addition to the coverage already provided by nearby sister offices in Clapham, Wandsworth and Battersea. In short, Savills are thrilled to support a charity that works within the areas they serve.

Welcome to Carney’s Community Newsletter! We hope you are all keeping well and enjoying the lovely weather! Over the past month, we have been busy working with our community and on building improvements, so would like to thank you for your continued support, which allows us to continue our work. We were fortunate to have 2 x British Boxing Champion, Denzel Bentley, down to talk to and work with the participants.

As a Ghanaian woman, born and bred on a South London council estate, I have a vested interest in the social capital of our young people in society. Although I do not have a traditional background in youth and community […]

Welcome to Carney’s Community Newsletter! It’s been an inspiring, joyous and at times challenging few months for Carney’s Community. As always, we are very grateful for your continued support which allows us to continue on with our work. Please read on to find out about what’s been going on… This year the Big Give appeal runs from Tuesday 14th to Tuesday 21st June and it’s our most ambitious appeal yet!

The Big Give: Carney’s Youth Crime Prevention Programme
Children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds have suffered more than most during the covid-19 pandemic. We’ve seen them miss out on education, suffer with their mental health due to isolation, worry and grief, and endure more domestic abuse and increased poverty. This winter, we’re starting to see the impact of a number of factors – furlough has ended, and the universal credit uplift removed, and now with rising prices, the situation for vulnerable young people is likely to get even worse. All this has the potential to leave a lifelong impact on young people, unless we intervene. We are seeing the need for more intensive work with young people in the aftermath of the pandemic. Particularly for those who’ve been involved in the criminal justice system already, or with social services because of problems at home. Coming to Carney’s, young people have a source of consistent, non-judgemental support; they […]

Summer Appeal
WE NEED YOUR HELP The last year has had a big impact on us all. For young people in general, this crisis has dealt a disproportionate blow, affecting their lives in every way. They have experienced economic and social challenges, struggling to find work and maintain relationships. Not seeing friends has a big impact on young people’s development and many have reported feeling lonely and isolated. The charity Young Minds found that 67% of young people believe that the pandemic will have a long-term negative effect on their mental health. Many are feeling worried about the future. Some feel hopeless. “You guys are always open, when something bad is happening at my house I can talk to you about it.” For the young people we work with at Carney’s Community, already chaotic lives have suddenly turned upside down. Many of these young people are living with a number of […]
