Mission Statement

Our vision is of a society where everyone can live a rewarding and fulfilled life free from poverty and inequality.

About This Cause

In 2010, following our 'Invisible Islington' report, Cripplegate Foundation established Islington Giving as a pioneering way for the local community to come together to tackle the huge inequality that exists in Islington. Why Islington? Islington is full of opportunity, but can also be a tough place to live, with complex challenges. • Islington ranks fourth nationally on income deprivation indicators for older people. • 38% of children in Islington live in poverty. This is the third highest in London. • 53% (7,500) of primary school age children, and 70% (5,300) of secondary school age children, are eligible for deprivation Pupil Premium. • Levels of depression and serious mental ill-health are the highest in London. • Incidence of domestic violence is rising, and disproportionately affects women aged 18–44, as well as BAME women.
