Who we are and why we are needed The Fore is creating a society that solves its own problems. Each year we provide funding and skills to the best grassroots charities and social enterprises in the UK and we are growing. Across the UK, talented people within communities are building practical solutions to our most complex challenges from poverty and mental health to education, exclusion and sustainability. However, the vast majority of these solutions do not achieve their potential to drive wider change across society because of failures in how the funding system works.

Since 2017, The Fore has been backing the best small charities and social enterprises with astonishing results.
