Learn More About Field Lane
Field Lane has a long history, dating back to 1841 when founder - Andrew Provan opened the Victorian Ragged School in London. Having evolved since those very early days, the charity has changed, but the philosophy remains the same; continuing to work with disadvantaged people.
Field Lane began life in the notorious “Field Lane" area, the setting for Charles Dicken’s infamous novel, Oliver Twist. Andrew Provan, a London City Missioner, came to the area in 1841 to teach children and young people - upon witnessing the effect of abject poverty and ill health on the residents he established the charity. Early supporters included Charles Dickens who wrote about the charity’s work in “Household Words". He also used the area called Field Lane as a setting for Fagin’s den in Oliver Twist.
What makes Field Lane different
Field Lane’s Christian heritage and understanding of society means that it is client-centred, acts in a caring manner, and ensures dignity and respect for everyone that it works with. The charity tailors support to the needs of every individual it works with. It provides compassionate, innovative and individualised care whether it is in its community services, supported housing, nursing care or its residential family support centre.
