A staggering 27% of people in London live below the poverty line (Source: Trust for London).

Celebrating our 11th year, The JLL is once again kicking off our campaign to combat the effects of poverty in London through the Little Black Dress(ed) Initiative in which we wear black for the week and post stats like the one above, on social media (follow us via #LBDI and #ThisJLLCan).

I would be incredibly grateful if you are able to donate towards the efforts the Junior League of London makes to support those in need:

○ £3 could purchase supplies for amenity kits for homeless Londoners

○ £5 could provide a book for an inner-London school library

○ £10 could provide supporting materials for our English language workshops for female refugees and asylum seekers

○ £25 could provide a family meal and £75 could provide an entire hamper full of food, books, gifts and essentials for a family struggling during the holidays

○ £100 could fund phone chargers, basic phones and Oyster cards for homeless emergency kits.

Your donations directly benefit local community partners and support the League's outreach and volunteer training programs. So thank you for helping us continue our impact here in London!
