We are extremely grateful for the generous donation from Garfield Weston of £25,000 towards core funding.
We will use this funding to:
- develop our digital offering to support both our service provision and administrative efficiencies,
- further develop our collaborative working with partner organisations to increase the impact of delivery and realise economies of scale,
- invest in our management team, upskilling for future challenges and a new level of change management.
Established in 1958, the Garfield Weston Foundation is a family-founded charitable grant-making trust which now gives away approximately £80 million a year to charities across the UK. Having established one of the most respected charitable institutions in the UK, the Weston Family Trustees today remain highly active and hands-on. The Foundation’s funding comes from an endowment of shares in the family business – a successful model that still endures today and as the businesses have grown so too have the charitable donations.
Each year the Foundation gives away its income and donations have continued to grow. Since it was established it has donated over £1 billion, of which over half has been given away in the past ten years alone. In the most recent financial year the Foundation gave away over £79 million to over 2,100 charities across the UK.
