Our Work
Our Work
The Randal Charitable Foundation has an aspiration to directly save and significantly improve over 1 million lives globally.
We provide grant funding to help causes and projects in the UK and lower and middle income countries, which directly assist people in the most desperate need, with a particular focus on directly Saving Lives.
This can take many forms; from providing life-saving medicines and surgery, to delivering a means to prevent sickness and premature death.
Our funding also helps improve 'quality of life', such as providing education opportunities; to assisting those who are socially disadvantaged or living in poverty. We also aid families where addiction or poor mental health is blighting their lives.
To find out more about the types of activity we help fund, please visit the support area pages in this section, which are; Health, Mental Health, Poverty, Social Disadvantage, Addiction, Education
and Covid-19 Support.
Below you will also find more detail on our two key priorities, which are directly Saving Lives
and significantly Improving
the
Quality of Life.
Saving Lives
The Foundation funds projects in the UK and globally which directly save lives, as well as supports communities to gain the infrastructure and healthcare they need to survive and thrive.
Saving lives globally has a particular focus on lower and middle income countries where there are often poor health systems, lack of clean water and non-availability of quality medicines leads to millions of people dying needlessly each year.
This ranges from funding safe water, sanitation and hygiene projects; mobile hospitals which visit remote communities to carry out life-saving treatments, as well as helping people with family planning.
In the United Kingdom the Foundation supports vulnerable people and their families who are often escaping life or death situations, to make improved lives for themselves.
During the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown the Foundation provided significant grant funding, in the UK and globally, to charities which delivered food, household essentials, medicines and healthcare support to help those suffering extreme hardship and social isolation.
Improving Quality of Life
The Foundation's focus is on the 'sharp end' of improving the quality of life of people in the UK and around the world, which means taking direct action to help significantly improve a person’s life for the better.
It takes many forms; from providing funding for education and healthcare to communities, to helping people and their families who have fallen victim to addiction; to supporting those suffering with poor mental health.
The Foundation has a passion for helping victims of abuse, orphaned children and those living in extreme poverty, who find themselves forced into homelessness through no fault of their own.
Supporting people out of poverty and coming to the aid of the socially disadvantaged, in particular the young, elderly and disabled, are also key priorities of the Foundation.
