About Hounslow's Promise
Our Story
Hounslow’s Promise is a borough-wide initiative set up by the Member of Parliament for Feltham in partnership with Cranford Community College, with input from schools, businesses, councillors, members of Hounslow Youth Council and community organisations.
Established in 2019, the charity was at the forefront of supporting young people in the Borough of Hounslow during the COVID-19 lockdown by providing laptops and tablets to those struggling with continuing their education due to online teaching. 110 laptops were donated to schools in 2023.
Our initiative is based on the belief that all children and young people should have the right tools and opportunities to learn and thrive. We believe that the whole community shares a responsibility to help young people succeed.
Inspired by the successful ‘America’s Promise’, it is centred on a vision of ‘Five Pledges’ to be made and kept to the young people of Hounslow.
Our Five Promises
Hounslow's Promise sends a simple message of aspiration: that every young person is valued, that all young people should be supported to accomplish their goals and that no young person should be left behind.
