- Those with an existing connection with French language, culture and heritage maintain this connection in the UK and with their extended families in their countries of origin.
**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
- Bi-national families who are either settled permanently or temporarily in East London and whose children do not attend French educational establishments meet their needs and values through the provision of French cultural support with a focus on improving the children's language skills, confidence and self-esteem, which in turn will have a further positive impact on their literacy and speaking skills.
- Parents and children of Newham eager to develop such skills easily access such language learning facilities without having to travel long distance.
