Peter Cruddas Foundation

About the Peter Cruddas Foundation

The Peter Cruddas Foundation aims to benefit disadvantaged and disengaged young people in our society here in the UK by ensuring funding reaches those most in need.

The Foundation achieves its aims and objectives through making grants for charitable work. It builds relationships with the organisations it supports and fosters collaboration whenever and wherever it can.

Those that The Foundation cannot help financially, it helps in other ways, through mentoring, business planning and networking.
