In 2003, the Openwork Foundation entered into its first three-year partnerships with two partners:
Co-founded by Falklands veteran Simon Weston they support socially excluded young people. Our £250,000 has enabled them to open four new youth centres which will help a further 21,000 vulnerable young people.

Provide mobility equipment and support for physically disabled kids. Our £250,000 has funded customised equipment for 20 children and part-funded five Regional Mobility Therapists, plus a series of information leaflets. |
Since then we have formed new three year partnerships with:
Representing and supporting children's hospices across the UK as well as children's hospice at home and day care services.
Provide practical and emotional help to children and young people to to age 18, who have suffered a bereavement in their immediate family.
Work in the most depressed areas of the Philippines with children and families living and working on stinking rubbish dumps. The Foundation is funding the building of a new school to end child labour.
