The Javan Coker Foundation (1181275) is registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales.

Our mission is "to empower children, and young people with disabilities and special educational or additional needs (SEND), and their families, to reach their full potential".

Our Objects include:

1. To relieve children and young adults with disability and special needs whilst also providing support to their families, friends and/or carers.

2. To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing the social exclusion of people who suffer from learning difficulties and/or a disability.

Due to our collective diligence, the foundation has gained a very loyal band of wellwishers and organizations that continue to partner and collaborate with the Javan Coker Foundation brand, and this last financial year was no exception.

Many funders provide funds for specific projects, so we have to also focus on raising funds to facilitate the running of the office, buying items like stationary, finding and paying volunteers, maintaining our website, and paying insurances and other professional fees, such as accountants.

• Cost of living has been impacted by the recent pandemic and inflation has risen, causing challenges for all organisations, including our own.

• Legal services to support the issues faced by service users in the communities we serve, which may range from housing issues to immigrations problems.
