We are a Women's and Children's Charity and We Love The Arts

The Jarrett Foundation is a UK registered charity and we have a broad remit, which is simply “The Relief of Need, Hardship and Distress”.  We started out as a children's charity, but over the years we have developed into so much more.  We focus on three main areas - Education, Women's Health  and The Arts.

What Have We Been Doing?

As a children's charity, The Jarrett Foundation works with UK Primary Schools, Local Authorities, Corporations, Churches, Hospitals etc. to recycle their furniture and resources. These include: school desks, school chairs, cabinets, cupboards, sports equipment, books, office desks & chairs, conference bags etc. 


We collect the items and ship them to the developing world.  Every year UK schools refurbish and throw away items of furniture that have many good years of usage left in them.  The majority of the items we ship are brand new and are just surplus to requirement like the 27,000 brand new exercise books donated from Hertfordshire County Council, simply because the schools were now going to use exercise books with logos on the front.  

UK Schools

Primary schools from across London have donated furniture to our children's charity.  The desks and chairs would be transported to our warehouse where they would be sorted and cleaned.  

UK Local Authorities

Our children's charity has been donated thousands of items of brand new school resources from our friends at Hertfordshire County Council. 

UK Hospitals

We were donated brand new mattresses, sheets and pillow cases from Kings Hospital London and we kitted out a clinic in Sierra Leone, Africa. 

Brand New Resources

The Jarrett Foundation has a very strict quality control process.  We refuse many items into our children's charity if we feel we would not be happy to present them to the children. This is why most items we ship are brand new or nearly new.

We are very proud that as a small children's charity, The Jarrett Foundation has shipped 7 x 40ft containers. The containers have been sponsored by our friends at Barclays Bank.

Focus Areas

Children's Education

image10

As a children's charity we feel that every child should have the opportunity to learn regardless of their financial background or circumstances.  This is why we will do all that we can to help facilitate their learning.  

Women's Health

image11

We believe that living healthy is a basic requirement.  This is why we will do all that we can in women's health, particularly in the area of Fibroids. 

Arts

image12

We believe that the creativity that comes from the Arts helps a person to advance in many other areas of their lives, like confidence. This is why we will do all that we can to help facilitate a creative lifestyle.
