Our mission

George Peabody created the Peabody Trust to improve living conditions for people in Victorian London. That purpose still drives us today – providing quality homes and building communities.    

The Peabody Community Foundation is at the heart of our work to bring that vision to life. It works to help people become healthier, wealthier and happier. From running food banks and activities in our community centres to skills, training and employment support, the foundation creates lasting change.
