Earlier this week we were invited into Drayton Manor High School for Children’s Mental Health Week to share what we do, why we do it, and how young people can benefit from, and take part in, our work 💛

Mental health and wellbeing sit at the heart of everything we do, so we loved creating space for students to tell us what they’d like to see change in Ealing and what they wish adults understood better about them.

From safer, better-lit spaces at night to stronger youth representation in politics, their ideas were thoughtful, honest and powerful.

It was extra special being back where many of our volunteers, and two of our staff, once attended. A real full-circle moment. .manor.high.school

We love having visitors come in to speak to our children and share their journeys, especially when they’re as cool as Magdi 👟 .dna

Can you believe he owns over 3,000 pairs of trainers? The room was full of wide eyes and big questions as he told us about his love for collecting, his time working with Nike, and how his passion turned into a career.

Research shows that children start forming ideas about what jobs are “for people like them” as early as age seven. That’s why moments like this matter, because the more careers and stories they’re exposed to, the bigger they can dream.

Ealing resident Magdi, whose daughter attends our Saturday Club, has had an incredible journey. He used to play basketball for England, went on to work with Nike, built a world-class trainer collection, and now runs The Exchange in Marylebone, a creative community space that brings people together through culture, conversation and events.

It was inspiring for our 5–12 year olds to hear his story and see how passion, sport and creativity can all shape a career. A huge thank you to Magdi for giving his time and showing our young people that there are so many different paths they can take.

Wishing you all a very Merry 6–7 Christmas ✨🎄

This week at The Proper Project, our little elves were very busy, armed with glitter, paint, pens and BIG hearts 💖

Our children created over 100 handmade Christmas cards, each one filled with love, kindness and thoughtful messages for the doctors, nurses, staff and patients at Ealing Hospital, especially for those spending Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day in hospital 🏥🎁

Today we delivered them… and honestly?
So many smiles.
So much joy.
A few happy tears.

Seeing how something as simple as a card can brighten someone’s day reminded us exactly what this season is about 🌟

We are so proud of our children for spreading kindness, and so grateful to Ealing Hospital for everything they do to look after our community, today and always ❤️

From all of us at The Proper Project, here’s to love, generosity, community… and a very merry 6–7 Christmas ✨

This Christmas, we were incredibly grateful to be supported by Mercy Worldwide 🎁✨

Mercy Worldwide organised a beautiful toy drive, raising funds, purchasing gifts, and thoughtfully putting together gift bags filled with toys for children who may need a little extra TLC this festive season, especially families who may be struggling financially to put gifts together.

They very kindly invited us into their space to present the gifts, and we were lucky to have three of our children represent The Proper Project, collecting the gifts on behalf of all the children we support. It was such a special moment, a real reminder of the power of community and generosity.

Christmas can be a particularly tough time for many families, and gestures like this mean more than words can express. It means so much to us that other charities see the value in our children and want to support our families in such a meaningful way.

The work we do at The Proper Project is never just about us, it’s about partnerships, shared values, and coming together as a community to uplift one another. This partnership with Mercy Worldwide is a truly special one, and we hope our children brought as much joy into their space as they’ve brought into ours 💛

Thank you, Mercy Worldwide, for your kindness, care, and generosity, our families will feel this love 💫

We celebrated Elians birthday 💛
Elian is one of our regular Saturday Club members, always bringing the biggest smile, the brightest ideas, and such a kind, positive energy into the room. He’s a true friend to so many of the children and a joy to have in our community.

His family kindly brought in a homemade cake, we put on some music, and all the children came together to celebrate. There was so much laughter, so much joy, and such a beautiful sense of togetherness.

There’s something incredibly special about children choosing to spend their birthdays at Saturday Club, celebrating with their Saturday Club friends. Moments like this remind us that what we’re building goes far beyond sessions and activities, it’s a community, a place of belonging, and a space where children feel truly at home 💫

Happy Birthday, Elian, we’re so lucky to have you 🎂✨

✨ A December night we will never forget. ✨

A few weeks ago, a local choir reached out and told us they were choosing our charity as their cause for this year’s Christmas pub-crawl. Yesterday, they walked through Ealing, pub to pub, and more, filling every corner with carols, harmony, and the kind of warmth that only community can create.

What happened was beyond anything we could have imagined.

As they sang, strangers who had never met us before opened their hearts and gave so generously. At one pub, the music was so powerful that people in the audience were moved to tears. It was one of those rare moments that reminds us of what community really means, people coming together, simply because they care, simply because they believe that every child deserves joy, opportunity, and a fair chance.

We were completely humbled that this incredible choir chose to support our work. To know that they see the value in what we do, supporting children facing hardship, poverty, and inequality, means more than we can ever express.

Ealing truly is a magical place. Moments like this remind us that kindness is alive, that neighbours lift one another up, and that Christmas is a season of connection, generosity, and hope.

To the choir: thank you for your hearts, your voices, and your belief in our mission.
To everyone who donated: thank you for standing with our children.
To everyone who listened, clapped, cried, or joined in: thank you for being part of this story.

We are so, so grateful. ❤️

Today at The Proper Project, we had so much fun bringing a splash of colour to the Hub at Greenford Library! 🎨✨

We noticed a few windows didn’t quite match the others… so our little artists (ages 5–11!) decided to create their very own stained glass–style masterpieces to brighten up the space.

Every design is unique, joyful, and full of personality, Just like our kids. We hope these colourful windows bring a little extra happiness to everyone who walks through the library. 🌈💛

Community, creativity, and children leading the way. This is what it’s all about.

We love a partnership at The Proper Project 🤝💛
Swipe through to see us delivering a gorgeous autumnal arts & crafts workshop 🍁✨

Workshops are one of our favourite things to do and we’re really great at them! Every session we deliver is completely bespoke, created with love, creativity and intention, depending on who we’re partnering with. This one is just one example of how we tailor our ideas to make something truly special for the young people we serve 🎨🌿

It was brilliant working with an amazing organisation doing incredible work.

Ealing has such a special community and some truly special places. If you haven’t visited yet, we highly recommend you pop in and show them some love 🫶🏽

Here’s to more partnerships, more creativity, and more magic for our young people ✨

We worked with very special air dry clay and created our own harvest items, like pumpkins, berries and even a garden patch! Of course there was some silliness involved and some adorable mini monsters were also sculpted!

✨ What a night! ✨

Last night we hosted our very first Fundraising Quiz Night at The Drayton Court Hotel and what an incredible evening it was! 🎉

We welcomed over 80 guests from across the community for a night filled with laughter, friendly competition and plenty of brain-teasing fun. Quiz rounds included everything from ‘All About Ealing’ to a special Proper Project round, testing everyone’s local knowledge and memories from our journey so far! 🧠💛

It was amazing to see people of all ages come together, families, friends, volunteers and supporters, all united for a great cause. Every smile, cheer and answer sheet reminded us why community truly matters.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, our wonderful volunteer team who made it all happen, and of course to The Drayton Court Hotel for hosting us so beautifully. 💫

We can’t wait to share how much we raised… stay tuned! 💛
