Achieving positive impact in the world in which we live.
The Clarkson Foundation gives us an opportunity to do more for the causes we are passionate about. Charitable status allows us to amplify our charitable giving and go further to create meaningful, lasting change around the world. Together, we go further.
Note: JustGiving automatically adds their own fees and this is optional.

A force for good
As a collective force for good, it matters to us that we make a positive difference to the world we live in and the people we share it with.
2020 was the first year of The Clarkson Foundation and its creation has allowed us to amplify our charitable giving. As a registered charity, we are committed to helping create meaningful, lasting change around the world.
Clarksons people have always been generous and charitable. In the past decade alone, we've raised over £1.6m for a range of different causes. With this force for good propelling us forwards, we created The Clarkson Foundation so that our shared desire to achieve more could have greater impact.
As an independent charity we are able to give in a more effective and focused way; we live by the governance of charitable status and our running costs remain at zero. In doing so, we contribute as much as we can to the causes we carefully select to support.
As well as fundraising efforts, The Clarkson Foundation enables us to channel our experience, expertise and time so that a tangible difference can be felt. Regardless of location, what matters most is that we can make a positive impact around the world, leaving a legacy that we can all be proud of.
The story so far...
Hear from our trustees about some of the amazing causes we have been able to impact.
“Clarksons has always had a generous and charitable nature, from raising money to giving time. It’s part of our culture, our values and our instinctive behaviour. The Clarkson Foundation will allow our charitable activity to raise more for worthy causes."
