Esmée Fairbairn Foundation
Royal Horticultural Centre First Taste Growing Well 5x5x5


The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation aims to improve the quality of life throughout the UK.


We do this by funding the charitable activities of organisations that have the ideas and ability to achieve change for the better. We take pride in supporting work that might otherwise be considered difficult to fund.

Our primary interests are in the arts, education and learning, the environment and enabling disadvantaged people to participate fully in society.

The Foundation at fifty

In 2011 the Foundation turned fifty and to mark the anniversary we commissioned a short film with some stories about what we do.
