Park Charitable Trust for Girls Celebrating the difference wee made for girls and young people in our community.

welcome We are proud to present the first Impact Report from Park Charitable Trust for GirLs, continuing the Legacy of Park School for Girls. While the schools closure marked the end of an era, it also created the opportunity to establish a foundation dedicated to improving opportunities for girls facing disadvantage. Our mission is to empower girls by improving access to education, providing targeted support, and creating opportunities that strengthen academic achievement, weLLbeing, and aspiration. In our first year, we supported a diverse range of programmes reaching over 2,500 girls, helping them build confidence, develop skills, and engage more fuLLy with Learning, Many girls face complex chaLLenges, from social inequaLity to Limited access to enrichment and school Life. By working with schools and community partners, we deliver tailored support to help girLs reaLise their potential. This report celebrates these achievements and reflects our commitment to Learning, improvement, and sustainabLe change, We are grateful to our partners, schools, and participants whose dedication makes this work possible. Together, we are helping create a future where every girl can succ*d.
our history Park SchoolforGirls was part of the footprint of ILford for almost 50 years. EstabLished in 1975, the independent school built a strong reputation for academic exceLLence and played a significant roLe in the development of young women's personal and academic growth. In its Later years, despite its many achievements, the school faced increasing chaLLenges and in July 2023, the governing body made the difficult decision to cLose. While the closure Left a significant gap within the community, the Governors remained committed to preserving the schools ethos and values and the Park Charitable Trust for Girls was set up in June 2024 to continue to support and empoweryoung women into the future.
our impact: wh is our work importan . Ensuring the schools values and impact would not be lost. Our mission is to heLp remove the systemic barriers that stiLL prevent many girls and young women from accessing education, safety, and car*r opportunities and Leadership positions. GLobaL research shows that girls are disproportionately affected by poverty and disadvantage. Gender bias continues to influence expectations and limit choices, while safety concerns can restrict participation in Learning, travel, and early carr pathways. Our work matters because when girls are abLe to Learn and deveLop K in safe, supportive environments, they are better equipped to build confidence, pursue ambition, and shape their own futures - benefiting not only individuals, but the wider community.
Our Objectives To improve access to education for children and communities from underprivileged and disadvantaged backgrounds. Supporting both educationaL and mental health projects that provide earLy intervention while Laying the foundations and contributing to improved Long-term educational outcomes and therefore future success in the workpLace. To support projects that deliver measurable improvements in educationaL attainment and personal growth. To invest in curricuLum deveLopment, educational resources and training/mentoring, to support the educationaL ethos and attainment of schools and individuals. To foster strategic partnerships with organisations that share our vision and values.
our projects
When seLecting our first round of projects, we focused on initiatives that support girls facing Low seLf-beLief, Limited access to enrichment opportunities, or chaLLenges Linked to disadvantage. We prioritised projects that provide safe, supportive environments where girls can build resilience, deveLop essentiaL skiLLs, and f&L a stronger sense of belonging within both education and their communities.
