The Grimshaw Foundation is a registered charity. It receives no public funding and relies on the financial support of like-minded built environment. art and design organisations and individuals to deliver the workshops, talks and resources that benefit young people (aged 11-15) from diverse, underrepresented backgrounds.
Since 2021 we have worked with over 400 students, 10 schools and 20 teachers, all with the support of over 100 volunteers. However, with the right advocates, sponsorship, and collaborators, we know we can do so much more.
There are lots of ways to get involved in the Foundation, from supporting our programmes as host, employer, facilitator or educator, sharing your expertise to help shape our ambitions, giving up your time to volunteer at one or a number of our events, or financially supporting the Grimshaw Foundation.

“Meeting people working in the industry and who work in different ways and environments creates a new platform of learning for our students.
These opportunities are key to their understanding of what they could achieve in their futures and opens them up to thinking about new careers.”

“I have been part of the Grimshaw Family for four years – we have produced over sixty poems together - and even made a film at the Eden Project exploring architecture and mental health. I’m keen to explore this connection with young people, and to look at how sculpture and architecture in their local area can inspire their own creativity.”
