The Polden-Puckham Charitable Foundation (PPCF) is a grant giving trust with Quaker family roots in the United Kingdom. They aim to contribute to the development of a just society based on a commitment to nonviolence and environmental sustainability. Their priority is to address systemic threats by seeking to change policy and attitudes at a national or European level. In order to do this, in the limited areas described below they support projects that seek to influence values and attitudes, promote equity and social justice, and develop radical alternatives to current economic and social structures.
Polden-Puckham is a family trust with Quaker connections, and the assets that we hold have been given to the Foundation by some family members. The capital originated from (formerly) Quaker owned businesses, including Clarks shoes.
They support the development of ways of resolving violent conflicts peacefully, and of addressing their underlying causes.
They support work that addresses the pressures and conditions that risk global environmental breakdown.
