OUR STORY

The Doughty Family Foundation was founded by Nigel and Lucy Doughty in 2007 to provide support to those in need both in the UK and across the world.

The Foundation has supported many projects over the last 15 years to improve children’s lives and support communities in need through health, access to education and nutrition initiatives.

Our aim is to continue our work with the help of new supporters. The Foundation has supported many charitable projects over the years ranging from £1,000 to a children’s playground in South London to projects of over £1 million including work with the NSPCC and the Newark Hospital, Lincolnshire. It also supports ongoing projects such as educational backpacks for schools and food boxes throughout the year and festive seasons. By keeping our team small and our costs to a minimum, we are able to maximise our impact on the ground.
