School Home Support works with schools, local authorities and other children's settings, to provide personalised support to children and families, tackling the underlying barriers to a successful education to improve the life chances of children. 

In the year 2014/15 School Home Support worked with over 9,000 children and families in schools, many of whom face homelessness, domestic violence and extreme poverty. 

"Liberum has been supporting and working with School Home Support for five years. This shows the dedication that they have to supporting disadvantaged children and young people in the local community, " School Home Support CEO Jan Tallis said. "We are absolutely delighted that their work has been recognised with this award, and thrilled to be working in partnership together."

The Liberum Foundation raises money through charity events that involve its 160 staff and clients. Staff at the nine-year-old bank work with School Home Support to develop children’s reading skills and confidence by volunteering at local schools each week and have hosted aspiration sessions for the children and their parents to attend. 

The awards recognise organisations that make "an exemplary contribution to London’s communities…they have shown a real dedication to engaging with their local communities in a sustained and meaningful way,” the Lord Mayor of London Alderman the Lord Mountevans said. 

“We are very proud to receive this award, it is an acknowledgement of the strength of our partnership with School Home Support and recognises the commitment of Liberum employees” Liberum’s Chief Operating Officer Tony Scawthorn said.
