As we celebrate 10 years of the Derwent London Community Fund, we reflect on the important work of the community organisations we've supported and the impact they've made.
In 2019, a portion of our Community Fund was allocated to St Mary Magdelene Primary School for its new Library Bus; a refurbished Routemaster decked out with rows of books and comfy seating. The school didn't have space for a library inside the building, so the fund went towards overhauling the structure of a bus, which had been sitting empty in the playground for over a year.
"Because of the Derwent London Community Fund, our Library Bus is invaluable in driving the children’s enjoyment of reading." Sandra Simpson, St Mary Magdelene
