The Berkeley Foundation

We’re the independent charitable foundation set up by Berkeley Group. We want to see young people and their communities thrive and be a force for change in the world. 

We work in long-term partnership with frontline charities across London, Birmingham and the South of England. We combine funding, connections, capacity building support and Berkeley staff engagement to support change in our local communities.
