Changing lives and overcoming exclusion through language education
We offer two programmes:
EAL Programme
Our EAL programme seeks to improve the educational outcomes of disadvantaged children in the UK who have English as an Additional Language, in order to benefit the individual child and society as a whole.
Criminal Justice Programme
The Bell Foundation's Criminal Justice Programme seeks to break down the language barrier to accessing justice and rehabilitation for individuals in contact with the criminal justice system for whom English is an additional language.
