About Us
Our vision is that young people and their communities will have the tools and resources to thrive and be a force for change in the world. We take a long-term, relational approach to our funding, building trust-based relationships with the organisations we support. Our partners range from national charities to smaller organisations, and all are experts in delivering their services to the communities in which they are based.
This helps to create real impact in these communities, and we are proud to see great results from across our partnerships. Like the Street Elite programme, where over 80% of participants transition into work, education or training each year.
Our People
We are run by a small team of staff and a board of trustees. They receive fantastic support from a group of volunteer Foundation Champions who work for the Berkeley Group.
Testimonials
" The Berkeley Foundation is absolutely committed to supporting young people and communities to thrive. We are focused on investing in our local communities through long-term partnerships with brilliant front-line charities. "
Piers Clanford, Chairman of Berkeley Foundation
How We're Funded
The Berkeley Foundation receives funding from two main sources. Berkeley Group provides 'core funding', pays all of our overheads and covers the cost of specific fundraising events. Berkeley staff do a fantastic job of raising money through fundraising events and our payroll giving scheme. The Foundation has a match funding scheme to match staff fundraising, volunteering and Give As You Earn for our charity partners. Finally, we occasionally receive external donations. Transparency is important to us. You can find our audited accounts here.
