Future Plans for the RAFT Fund for all UK charities & social enterprises

Together with The Lovington Foundation, The Fore is raising funding to make the RAFT fund available to charities and social enterprises across the UK, not just their grantees. They need to raise £1million to open the fund. As of Thursday 3rd April they had raised £500,000 and are extremely grateful for the support of The Lovington Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, LGT Vestra/Tribe, Golden Bottle Trust, Michael and Sarah Spencer and a number of other private donors.

They are happy to receive enquiries on 020 7240 6192 or by email info@thefore.org
