AWF Donates £19,815 To Pilion Trust

Towards the end of 2012, the Amy Winehouse Foundation was delighted to be able to award a grant of £19,815 to the Pilion Trust’s CrashPad Project, a venture by the London-based homeless shelter that we had previously supported the year before, and have built up a close relationship with.

The grant will fund the full staffing and volunteer costs of the Pilion Trust CrashPad between December 2012 and May 2013, and it is hoped that the Pilion Trust and its staff will provide appropriate shelter to a maximum of 15 young people every night between 10^th December 2012 and 1^st May 2013.

In addition, the Pillion Trust and its staff will also support young people with advice and guidance into temporary or permanent housing, training or employment.

About the Amy Winehouse Foundation

In Amy’s memory, we work to inspire children and young people to build their self-esteem and resilience, so that they can flourish.

Our work is inspired by Amy’s spirit, her love of children and the challenges that she faced in her own life.

Today, the Amy Winehouse Foundation helps thousands of young people to feel supported and informed so that they are better able to manage their emotional wellbeing and make informed choices around things that can affect their lives.

We’re able to do this because of the support we receive from people like you. Anyone who believes in young people can become a part of our work and Amy’s legacy. By supporting our work, you will help them to transform their lives, flourish and be heard.
