Whitgift Foundation - Estates Director

For 425 years, we’ve used land and assets set aside by our Founder to generate income which we put back into our community. This ensures a lasting legacy for the people our charity supports and helps to build a brighter future for our community as a whole. From historic sites like the Grade I listed Almshouses to more modern commercial buildings, our property portfolio has grown substantially over the years. Today, we continue to play a key role in the development and regeneration of our town. Indeed, our charitable mission relies upon it. If it weren’t for the rental income we receive as freehold owners of the Whitgift Centre, we would be largely unable to subsidise the care services we offer or help the thousands of young people we support through an outstanding education. Our portfolio is diverse and includes a range of asset types including occupied education, residential, care and operational properties, in addition to let retail, office and residential. Our operational properties are vital to the delivery of our Care, Education and Foundation support services. Our investment portfolio has historically driven income to return to the

organisation, in addition to providing opportunity for future development.

Our operational estate (care and education assets) hold a combined value of £150m. The investment property portfolio is valued at £54m.
