Garfield Weston Foundation donate £30,000 to Extratime

Thank you to the Garfield Weston Foundation who have recently donated £30,000 towards Extratime’s core-running costs this year.

Funds will support the costs of running our core services, including after school clubs and holiday schemes, helping Extratime to support children and young people with SEND, and their families to recover from the devastating impact of Covid-19.

Established in 1958, the Garfield Weston Foundation is a family founded charitable grant-making trust which now gives away approximately £80 million a year to charities across the UK. Having established one of the most respected charitable institutions in the

UK, the Weston Family Trustees today remain highly active and hands on. The Foundation’s funding comes from an endowment of shares in the family business – a successful model that still endures today and as the businesses have grown so too have the charitable donations.

Each year the Foundation gives away its income and donations have continued to grow. Since it was established it has donated over £1 billion, of which over half has been given away in the past ten years alone. In the most recent financial year the Foundation gave away over £79 million to over 2,100 charities across the UK.
