Every Donation Counts
At Foundation Futures CIO, we rely entirely on grants and donations from people like you to do our vital work.
Every pound you give today lights the way for local youth and community members who need a different kind of support. By donating, you aren’t just giving money, you are providing real hope, creating life-changing opportunities, and helping someone find a place
where they truly belong

The Power of the Pound
We are a small, dedicated charity.
Because of this, we know exactly where every single penny goes.
Our Guarantee We operate with total transparency.
100% of your public donation goes directly toward supporting a person in need, never to inflated administrative salaries. If you'd like, we can even update you on exactly which community group your donation has supported.

Support Our
Mental Health Initiative
We have seen a massive, heartbreaking rise in the number of young people struggling with their mental health, and we are determined to provide the vital support they and their families need.
Our clothing range is the next step in funding these crucial mental health projects. Every jumper and hoodie is printed with the phrase "It's ok to not be ok" to help spark conversations, battle the stigma surrounding mental health, and spread a message of hope to everyone who sees it.
100% of the proceeds from our clothing line go directly back into supporting young people battling mental health challenges.
In Loving Memory of Mark Patton
Mark's Story
Mark joined Foundation Futures in January of 2018 and we were very quickly charmed by Mark and his infectious personality. Yes he could be difficult, sometimes exasperating but his tremendous determination, cheeky humour and soft heart won us all over. We were privileged enough to work with Mark and watched him progress on our Building Foundations programme and begin to laugh and smile. Once Mark left our programme we continued to support him in his apprenticeship with Ingleford Scaffolding where he grew in confidence. Sadly Mark had his own demons that he wasn't able to talk about and on the 26th of September 2021 Mark took his own life. Mark was an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend who was always there to support the people he cared about. We want Mark's memory to live on through the work we do by sharing his story and keeping his memory alive.
We want to remind all young people that it is never too late to talk to someone
its ok, to not be ok.
