About Swan Foundation

Swan Foundation is a charitable organisation set up to help communities achieve more for themselves. We work with our partners to remove the obstacles that are holding people back.

Challenge exclusion

In partnership with businesses we aim to address the challenges of regeneration in socially and economically excluded areas. One part of this is helping people overcome the obstacles to success. These obstacles cover many aspects of people's lives and the priorities we have set reflect that.

Our priorities

  • Education, training and employment

  • Community cohesion
  • Environment
  • Health, well-being and sports

Our mission

To develop and build the capacity of those people living in socially and economically disadvantaged communities in (but not exclusively) Essex and East London to enable the regeneration of disadvantaged areas: relieving poverty; increasing employment prospects; and reducing the effects of economic and social exclusion.

Our approach We work in partnership with forward-thinking businesses and organisations to do more for disadvantaged people and neighbourhoods. »
