Supporting Children:
Best Start in Life

In February 2020, St John’s Foundation launched its ‘Best Start in Life’ strategy (formerly known as the Foundation Fund). The specific aim of our funding for this area of our work is to improve the outcomes for under-served children and thereby narrow the educational attainment gap for Key Stage 2 children living in Bath and North East Somerset through a range of initiatives. This crucial work focuses on making sure every child under 12 has the chance to grow up as a healthy, happy, and educated member of our community.
