Today we celebrate AllChild (previously West London Zone) who are graduating from our portfolio after seven years of partnership with us.

We are really proud of this partnership and the support we have provided to help AllChild to grow into the organisation they are today. AllChild’s strategy is centred on a commitment to being all about, all around, and all for the child, and their work now reaches thousands of young people and families across the UK – with greater impact.

Over the past seven years, we have seen AllChild grow from delivering a pilot to 100 young people in three schools in West London, to now supporting more than 1,700 young people across the UK, translating their proven model to other regions.

AllChild’s success is a brilliant story of working in deep partnership with schools, councils and communities, and delivering what it takes to transform the lives of the children and young people. It is also story of exceptional leadership from AllChild’s CEO, Louisa Mitchell. We are proud of the part Impetus has played in helping shape AllChild’s programme and organisation.
