Shanly Foundation

Shanly Foundation primarily supports good causes predominantly within Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, West Sussex and parts of Surrey, Kent and Hampshire. We donate to the areas shaded on the map here.

Shanly Foundation is funded entirely from the discretionary distribution of profits made by the companies that make up Shanly Group.

Since 1969 Shanly Group and Shanly Foundation have contributed in excess of £25 million to those in need of a helping hand, from youth clubs, schools and woodland projects to centres for adults with physical and learning disabilities.
