The Trustees ensure that the projects Wednesday’s Child supports are within our Charitable Objects; projects must be registered as charities and they must be:

viable – both strategically and financially
local – to the London area north of the Thames
varied - to spread the benefits as widely as possible
addressing topical concerns – to address problems of the day
small-scale – so that Wednesday’s Child can make a difference
