Allen Edwards Primary School
Allen Edwards Primary is located in Hyde’s Studley estate in Stockwell, and was founded on the belief that every person in our school should be treated with kindness and care with opportunity to collaborate with others and develop resilience in their thinking and learning. Allen Edwards Primary supports the development of each pupil’s social and emotional skills by fostering caring and thoughtful attitudes, respect for others and self-confidence.
Allen Edwards Primary School and Hyde have previously partnered on family and community events and they are now a key source of information, advice and referral for local Hyde families.
In response to the challenges facing children and families throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Hyde has worked with Allen Edwards Primary School to ensure all of their 392 students receives a care parcel specifically designed to meet their individual learning needs. They are also providing additional support for those young people who will be facing transition back into education - particularly those going into secondary education from September.

South London Cares
This is a community network of young professionals and older neighbours socialising and and helping one another. Part of the Cares Family, their objectives are to:
- Reduce isolation and loneliness amongst older people and young professionals alike
- Improve the connection, confidence, skills, resilience and power of all participants so neighbours can feel that they are part of our changing city rather than left behind by it
- Bring people together to reduce the gaps across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.
These are met through four key programmes, including social clubs, ‘Love Your Neighbour’ befriending scheme, fundraising and outreach.
In 2019 Hyde first partnered with South London Cares to deliver their Winter Wellbeing project across Lambeth and Southwark, reaching out to over 300 Hyde residents over the age of 65 to better understand their needs and interests. Hyde Foundation is using what we’ve learned to inform its community partnerships for those aged 65 and over.
