The Deo Duce Foundation was formally established in 2020 as a charitable collaboration between past pupils of the Salvatorian College and Old Salvatorians Football Club.

Our aims are focused around the educational and well-being needs of young people aged typically 25 or under in the Harrow area, and we support a variety of projects to help them achieve their potential.

Our Mission

The Old Salvos charity supporting young people in Harrow

The Deo Duce Foundation was established on the premise that all young people deserve the same educational opportunities to fulfil their potential and succeed.

We invite applications for funding from schools, social enterprises and extra curricular clubs including sports and the arts – anything which supports the education, well-being or skills development of young people, which will benefit the local and wider communities in the short and long term.

How to apply for funding

How we help

The Deo Duce Foundation has been established to support:

Education

Much of our work is centred around educational facilities including but not limited to Salvatorian College in Harrow. Our grants help to purchase equipment and fund extra curricular activities outside the scope of normal school budgets.

Skills

We support skills development in young people including training in sports, the arts, workplace preparation and other activities outside the school curriculum, where there is a benefit to the wider community.

Support

Deo Duce funds initiatives, clubs and social enterprises which support the mental, social and physical well-being of young people in our community.
