Making a difference
Our mission will always be to make a difference to the lives of the vulnerable. From new born babies to those in later life; every vulnerable person deserves support. We aim to provide help where and when we are most needed.
About The Openwork Foundation
We aim to make a positive difference where it matters most.
So, we work together and with others to support vulnerable children and adults in the UK and overseas. Each year our colleagues and advisers raise on average over £500,000 to support everybody from new born babies to people later in life.
We’ve been the heart of the Openwork family since 1981 and have donated more than £20.8m over the years. We deliver grant, fundraising and volunteer programmes, designed to engage businesses, advisers and colleagues in The Openwork Partnership, to support our local communities.
We believe that we can all make a difference – and our approach to our corporate and social responsibilities helps us all deliver that difference as fully and as wholeheartedly as we can.
Our registered charity number is 1184592 and registered address is The Openwork Foundation, Washington House, Lydiard Fields, Swindon. SN5 8UB
