The US Charitable Trust 

The US Charitable Trust is a registered charity begun in 2012. Newman Catholic College have been working with them since they started. They work with 300-400 marginalised ‘at-risk’ 11-18 year olds a year, and approximately 1500 children and young adults for one-off events. 

They prepare students for life after school, whether in training, university or employment. This lead to the development of a series of programme, events and experiences designed to enhance Cultural Capital.

Their Founder, Mrs Serena Balfour, is a Governor for the school and a Trustee for the Young Brent Foundation. Their Youth Panel has been key to our development over the years, as they tell us about their worries, hopes and fears, and has led to specific programmes to help get into University or find apprenticeships.

They run after-school and holiday programs designed to enrich their participants lives and while at school, improve educational attainment, to make sure they are prepared and supported to leave school. Their activities focus on personal development, cultural experiences, introduction to employment/education possibilities and provide responsive tailored support to individuals.

Young people need as much support as they can get, the US Charitable Trust do all they can to support them in getting the education they need and the job opportunities they deserve.
