Crisis support

All too often countries and communities around the globe find themselves in crisis. Generations has supported people in these circumstances over the years. Recent examples of those we have supported are below.

When the terrible storm devastated Jamaica in 2025 we looked for a charity that really made an impact on the ground and were pleased to make a donation to American Friends of Jamaica. They were founded in 1982 are dedicated to supporting Jamaican charities in Education, healthcare and economic development to foster self sufficiency and improve lives. 

They raise funds, provide emergency disaster relief and offer grants to vetted local organisations. They have raised and distributed in excess of $20m over the years. 

Beirut explosion 2020

On 4 August 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut in the capital city of Lebanon exploded, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injured and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless.
The blast physically shook the whole country of Lebanon.
The Lebanese government declared a two-week state of emergency in response to the disaster. In its aftermath, protests erupted across Lebanon against the government for their failure to prevent the disaster, joining a larger series of protests which have been taking place across the country since 2019.
Having had connections with Beirut over the years the Trustees researched the best way to help those in need and made a donation through The International Cross.

Covid pandemic

When Covid 19 pandemic hit the world, we reached out to the charities that we had previously supported and offered further help. We also made donations to The British Red Cross.

Our initial response to the challenges caused by the pandemic was to contact and offer additional support to those charities we already support. We were pleased to hear about and support the initiative by Regenerate who organised a group of young people to undertake a fundraising cycle ride for their new mobile coffee business / mentoring scheme

The COVID 19 pandemic forced schools to make greater use of online teaching resources to ensure that children continued to learn from home. It also highlighted a significant number of children who did not have access to a laptop, tablet or internet at home. Without a device and internet access, they would have fallen  behind their peers in terms of learning. They would also struggle to stay in contact with their friends.

The Keep Kids Connected initiative had a clear goal – to get the children in south-west London connected so they could keep up with their learning and in touch with their friends. The charity delivered over 300 laptops and tablets. Most were donated devices that have been securely erased and refurbished by volunteer IT specialists. Business’s and charities were encouraged to support the programme by purchasing new devices.

The Generations foundation were pleased to add 56 brand new devices. We were attracted to this initiative as it not only met a very urgent need but will transform many children’s lives both during this pandemic, but also long after it has passed.
