The ‘Be Different365 Foundation’, based in Croydon, is a non-profit organisation committed to building a brighter future for children and families in low-income households. Since starting in June 2019, we’ve been a source of hope, offering free family programmes and services that help children reach their potential and strengthen family connections.
We value the power of community. By working together with families, educators, and community partners, we create a supportive environment where children can express their creativity, gain social confidence, and grow socially, mentally, physically, psychologically and emotionally from ages 4 to 16.

Our Impact
Be Different365 Foundation goes beyond programs. We are empowering individuals to become confident, self-aware, and responsible members of society. Since June 2019, we’ve supported over 2,000 Croydon families and organised nearly 200 weekly events, including Saturday family social clubs, after-school creative activities, and collaborative partnership work using our growth mindset tools.
Our Programmes
Our programmes: We offer a range of activities tailored to meet the needs of both children and parents.
Children's programmes: We create fun and engaging activities that foster social development, build confidence, and encourage exploration and creativity. In the summer of 2021, we collaborated with Croydon Council and the Department of Education to deliver a successful six-week "Holiday Food and Fun" programme for over 60 children. Since then, we have consistently offered funded activities supported by Croydon Council, National Lottery Community Awards for All, NHS, Royal Mencap Society, Croydon Voluntary Action, Learning Disability Alliance Croydon, and many other grassroots organisations.
Parent Support: We value strong families and provide resources, workshops, and guidance to help parents overcome challenges, support their children's growth, and connect with the community.
