Welcome

The Golden Lion Children’s Trust is a charity dedicated to providing hope, help and happiness to children with special needs and underprivileged youngsters. The roots of the Trust lie within Gatwick Airport. Today the Trust maintains its links with the airport but is made up of people from a much wider field.

The charity has remained independent of any other charitable institutions and is completely self-financing. The Golden Lion Children’s Trust also remains independent of any regular corporate sponsorship although the generosity and support of companies large and small mainly from around Gatwick Airport and from the South of England remain the major source of our funding.

The Golden Lion Children’s Trust differs from many other charities in so much as we never make donations of money to specific organisations. Our “donations” consist of the provision of services, goods and more usually activities for the children.
