Who we are

Our grants support small organisations working to transform the lives of children and young people in London. Founded in 1843, our organisation has been delivering services to children and young people for over 170 years. No longer a service provider, we now use the legacy of our experience and our financial endowment to strengthen the community support available to disadvantaged young people.


The role

SYP Trustees are at the forefront of our work. Your role would include deciding which applications are successful against the strategy you help to create. You would build relationships with two or three successful organisations each year, encouraging them to share ideas with our community of grantees, and witnessing the work they do first hand through visits and events.
If you would like the opportunity to join our small charity, we would love to hear from you. Applications are welcome from all sectors of the community. People with lived experience of disadvantage, and the youth sector in London, are strongly encouraged to apply. SYP Trust is committed to encouraging equality, diversity and inclusion and eliminating unlawful discrimination among our employees, beneficiaries and our Board of Trustees.
