The UK Branch

Since its establishment in 1956, the UK Branch has supported organisations to improve the quality of life for all, prioritising vulnerable and underserved communities in tackling complex global problems. We focus our resources where we can best make a difference.  

Based in London, the UK Branch contributes to the Foundation’s mission for a more equitable and sustainable society using our networks, experience and way of working. We work internationally with partners in the UK, Portugal and beyond.

Our approach 

To maximise our impact, we focus our resources and activities where there is the greatest need and where we are best able to make a difference. All of this is guided by the Foundation’s overall strategic priorities of Equity and Sustainability. 

The UK Branch contributes to the Foundation’s Access to Culture and Climate and Ocean grant-making programmes.
