Coram has been appointed as AllChild’s learning partner with a focus on understanding the lessons learnt from the launch of their two-year Impact Programme in Wigan Borough in September 2024, their first expansion outside of London.
This will include considering the impact of the programme on children and young people, in addition to the wider impact of the work on families, schools, the local authority, and the local voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE).
AllChild (previously known as West London Zone) is a non-profit organisation that proactively supports at-risk children and young people in some of the UK’s most marginalised neighbourhoods. They are rooted in the belief that when people work together, all children and young people can flourish. AllChild’s Link Workers are based in schools, where they act as a key trusted adult for identified at-risk children and young people. Working in partnership with the child, families, school staff, local VCSE organisations and local services, and using a strength and asset-based approach, they produce a tailored two-year programme of support which aims to produce positive social, emotional and academic outcomes for each child.
AllChild currently brings together over 50 youth organisations, over 50 school communities and four Local Authorities within a ‘Zone’ in West London to deliver a high-quality two-year programme of support for 1,700 young people at risk of poor outcomes.
