Visit the Lillywhite FoundationOur Mission
Established in 2016 by John Ferguson & Charlie Goldsmith, The Lillywhite Foundation aims to give young people, both in the UK and abroad, greater opportunities to participate in sports and social activity. It is our belief that team sports and social activity increase not only the social wellbeing of young people, but aids positive social development, increases confidence and self-esteem, and teaches valuable life skills.
The Foundation looks to focus on identifying and funding specific projects that the Foundation and its Board of Trustees believe merit support. The Foundation has an independent voluntary Board of Trustees who donate their time and experience to ensure that the Foundation is governed properly and that all funds received are appropriately used.
