  Partner

  Paul Hamlyn Foundation was established by Paul Hamlyn in 1987. Upon his death in 2001, he left most of his estate to the Foundation, creating one of the largest independent grant-making foundations in the UK.

  Their mission is to help people overcome disadvantage and lack of opportunity, so that they can realise their potential and enjoy fulfilling and creative lives. They have a particular interest in supporting young people and a strong belief in the importance of the arts.

  The Paul Hamlyn Foundation have sponsored bursary places for some of their grant recipients.

  The Tudor Trust is an independent grant-making charitable trust. They fund a wide range of organisations working to support positive changes in people’s lives and in their communities around the UK. They don’t have specific funding programmes designed to advance any particular agenda as they think that the groups they support are best placed to identify problems and develop solutions.
