David Brown leaving the Foundation
The Trustees of the Charles Hayward
Foundation are sorry to announce that following a reduction in the
value of their endowment and a significant decline in forecast
income for 2009 that they have had to make the post of Administrator
of the Foundation redundant.
David Brown has
diligently served the Foundation for the past 15 years and has ably
led the organisation since his promotion to Administrator in 2003.
We commend his ethic of service to the voluntary sector and value
his many contributions to effective grant-making particularly in
policy development, assessment and evaluation. We thank him for his
excellent work for the Foundation over the years and wish him all
the best in his future career.

Young People's Programme
Last year trustees decided to create a pro-active grant-making programme where we sought out selected organisations working with young people at risk rather than receiving applications. We had the help of six key organisations in developing the scheme and our assessment criteria. We have devised a system for thoroughly assessing organisations and their projects
with the aim of making substantially larger grants than our average.
Over the past few months, trustees have made grant offers to two organisations which successfully completed our selection process. We will be working with these
two organisations over the coming years both to evaluate their
projects and also to measure the effectiveness of this
more pro-active approach to our grant making.
We will not be making any more grants in this programme for the time being
