Paul Hamlyn Foundation

Overview

We work collaboratively with organisations and individuals who are working to build a just society. Our funds focus on the arts, education and learning, migration and young people.

About the Foundation

Paul Hamlyn arrived in the UK as a migrant in 1933. He started his first book selling business in 1949 and went on to make his fortune in publishing. When he died in 2001, he left most of his estate to the Foundation, creating one of the largest independent grant-making organisations in the UK.

Our Mission for Change

Our mission is to be an effective and independent funder, using all our resources to create opportunities and support social change. We partner with inspiring organisations and individuals to put them at the heart of leading change and designing solutions to overcome inequality.

Our Vision for the Future

Our vision for the future is a just society in which everyone, especially young people, can realise their full potential and enjoy fulfilling and creative lives.
