Walker Family Through financial and non-financial resources, the Foundation aims to deliver sustainable and lasting change to those who need it most. Our grant scheme focuses on the areas of Clean Water, Meal-A-Day and Essential Medicines provision. We hold the values of Compassion, Justice, Integrity, Impact and Sustainability central to all aspects of our support and operation. “We want to ensure the causes we support as well as the fund itself, are sustainable. We wish to create a lasting charitable trust, which will continue beyond our lifetimes”. The Walker Family The Just Living Foundation was set up to create a living fund, supporting causes we felt passionate about as a family, focusing on human needs and rights. Impact and Sustainability are key motivations for our Foundation’s grant strategy, we aim to support grassroot partners, and hope to achieve change in an effective and efficient way. Stuart, along with his two sons, Julian and Mel were keen to combine and employ their expertise in business, organisation and ethics to support developments in small charities as well as providing financial aid. The Family are committed to engaging with charity partners personally as well as through financial support to maximise their partner’s capacity and growth. The Foundation began as a trust fund from the sale of Stuart’s business. The foundation came about through the family’s wish to increase their philanthropic activtity in an ethical and sustainable way. “The last piece of the puzzle fell into place through our work with Alex. Her passion for supporting small charities, whilst maximising the impact of financial contributions meant a strong alignment with our objectives; so we asked her to work alongside us to achieve our vision and values”.
