The London Learning Foundation is a health charity, which develops and supports projects that promote health and wellbeing, to young people and adults over 19 within the borough of Croydon. We believe that when we as individuals are mindful of our own health and wellbeing and the health and wellbeing of those around us, we can build and sustain communities of wellbeing. At the heart of our approach is a strong commitment to designing our work with and for our residents and for residents to be part of the delivery. Alongside a board of Trustees which meets three times a year to steer the Foundation and oversee activity.
