Approach to Funding
The work that Tim Henman’s Foundation is doing to bridge the divide between the quality of opportunities being created for all our young people is of great significance. We need all organisations to support local communities through the Foundation's outreach, scholarship and special needs programmes for students and their teachers and parents.
Current Five Year Plan
The Tim Henman Foundation is an independent grant making charitable foundation. We fund registered charities across the UK and target our support in line with our five year plan.
From 2019 to 2024 the Trustees will focus their support on establishing the programmes launched with existing Trustee Approved Partners. In addition the Trustees have identified a short list of partners for future consideration.
The expectation is that Approved Partners will be working throughout the UK in a targeted manner to improve the lives and prospects of young people “at risk” from family breakdown; poor mental health; addiction; abuse and poverty; or to improve the quality of life for young people who are life threatened or life limited.
Approach
The Tim Henman Foundation undertakes its own research to determine the charities it wishes to consider for funding and will make direct contact to begin discussions about opportunities.
Applications for funding are therefore not invited.
Charities can alert The Tim Henman Foundation of their work if they are seeking to improve the lives and prospects of deserving young people “at risk”.
Please send a brief email (no attachments please) to info@henmanfoundation.org
We regret that it is not possible to acknowledge or send a reply to those that make contact in this way.

We are nevertheless interested to learn of the work of other charities seeking to improve the lives and prospects of deserving young people “at risk”.
