From disabled orphans in Romania and slum residents in Delhi to the disenfranchised in New York and the terminally ill in the UK, the Halcrow Foundation works to relieve suffering around the world.
We’re a UK registered charity (no. 1115729) established since 2005, initially in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami. We work in partnership with local non-governmental organisations, non profit making organisations and other charities across Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.
Our projects alleviate poverty and suffering caused by natural disaster or as a result of people’s social and economic conditions. This is achieved through the development of education, health and social services, the improvement of transport infrastructure, water supplies and other communal facilities and the promotion of self help activities.
Halcrow donates 1 per cent of its annual profits to the foundation, as well as making a significant contribution in terms of people’s time and its resources. Halcrow’s employees also raise funds through a range of sponsored activities and donate money through payroll giving. As of 2010, the value of all this help – in terms of cash and in kind support – exceeds £1.1 million. The general public are welcome to make a donation to support the foundation’s work.
Despite the support Halcrow extends to the foundation, the charity remains entirely independent of the company – Halcrow exerts absolutely no influence over the way the charity conducts its work.
