About Us

The Clore Social Leadership Programme is an initiative of the Clore Duffield Foundation. The Foundation is contributing £2 million to the Clore Social Leadership Programme over its first four years.

The Clore Foundation was founded in 1964 by the late Sir Charles Clore, one of Britain's most successful post-war businessmen and one of the most generous philanthropists of his day. After Sir Charles' death in 1979, his daughter, Vivien Duffield, assumed the chairmanship of the Foundation and created her own Foundation in 1987 with the aim of continuing and consolidating her family's history of philanthropy. The two Foundations were merged in 2000 to become the Clore Duffield Foundation. The Foundation is chaired by Dame Vivien Duffield DBE and concentrates its support on arts education, museum and gallery education, leadership training and health and social care.
