Ramsbury Estate
Ramsbury Estates is made up of 19,000 acres across North East Wiltshire, West Berkshire and North Hampshire. The diversification of the estate over the last 20 years has led to award-winning produce from the 7,000 acres of farm land – including craft ales, single estate spirits and Black Gold rapeseed oil. The Ramsbury ethos is simple, nothing goes to waste. Each operation works smoothly and efficiently, intertwining with one another either by producing complementary products or providing the raw materials used to create them. As much as can be done on the estate itself is, so that there is complete traceability and the very most out of the process as possible is achieved whilst reducing the impact on the environment surrounding us. It is this ethos that has led to the creation of conservation and educational free trips for local schools and colleges to inspire future generations.

Wiltshire Community Foundation
Wiltshire Community Foundation is an independent charity dedicated to tackling disadvantage and strengthening local communities by inspiring local philanthropy and supporting the voluntary sector.
Due to the generosity of local people giving through us, we have grown into one of the largest grant-giving organisations in Wiltshire and Swindon. Over the last few years we have given in excess of £1.5 million each year through hundreds of grants to grassroots voluntary and community groups doing vital work in their neighbourhoods. Our education grants also give young people the chance to improve their development, learning and future employment prospects.
We carry out research into local need to ensure our support is targeted where it is needed most. By tackling the most pressing local issues we can help build stronger communities. As well as financial support we organise events, training and advice sessions to help the voluntary and community sector build their skills, capacity, knowledge and networks.
We believe that to meet the long-term needs of our community, we need resources with longevity so we have a range of ways that people can give. Our giving options are tailored to suit donors’ motivations and are effective whether they want to make an immediate impact – or a difference for years to come. Many of our donors have set up funds for the long-term, recognising that pooling their assets achieves more. These funds are invested and each year the returns they generate are made available for grant-making.
Since the Foundation was established in 1975, more than £22 million has been awarded in grants in Wiltshire and Swindon, making a real and lasting difference to the most disadvantaged people in our county.
