St. James’s Place Wealth Management is a leading UK wealth management company, founded in 1991. St. James’s Place was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1997, and is a FTSE 100 company, with over £118.7 billion funds under management.

St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation has been supporting those in need since 1992, making a positive and lasting difference to people’s lives by awarding grants to charities registered in the UK to assist them in the incredible work they do every day. So far, we’ve raised and distributed over £100 million to thousands of charities.

Our grant giving is guided by themes, with the main focus on children and young people who have special needs through illness, disability or mental health problems and also those who are disadvantaged in other ways. The Charitable Foundation also supports the Hospice Movement and people of all ages with cancer.

The Charitable Foundation has been keen to support small to medium-sized charities that can benefit substantially from relatively small grants. Hundreds of small charities have benefited as a result.
