In 2026/27, we are supporting The Lily Mae Foundation, a UK charity that supports parents and families affected by stillbirth, neonatal death, miscarriage and medical termination.

Ryan Jackson, founder and managing director at The Lily Mae Foundation, said: “The support from Hortons and their team will directly fund our essential services across the West Midlands, from providing memory boxes that help parents create irreplaceable keepsakes with their babies, to delivering dedicated one-to-one bereavement support, support groups, and therapeutic support for children.”

Hortons’ Estate Limited is proud to be expanding the direct support it gives to local good causes via the Hortons Social Purpose Committee.

In 2024/5, we are providing support to eleven remarkable charities that are making a difference across three specific areas of need in our community.

These initiatives represent diverse and impactful work with which we are privileged to be a part. Each one plays a vital role in transforming lives, fostering inclusivity, and creating a brighter future for all.

Currently, six of these organisations – and the majority of our support – address hardship and exclusion. They offer assistance to some of the most deprived and hard-to-reach communities and individuals in Birmingham, offering rehabilitation and second chances to those facing crisis, and addressing homelessness at its roots.

We have also awarded three education-based grants: one aims to assist pre-school children in overcoming delayed development caused by the pandemic; another which engages young people in deprived areas of our community with high-quality performing arts and cultural education; and the third offers a bursary to help talented and motivated students overcome financial barriers in pursuit of their education.

Finally, two of our donations support arts-based projects. One counters the decline in music education for Birmingham’s underprivileged youth, promoting personal growth and social inclusion. The other creates opportunities for talented dancers with severe learning disabilities to showcase their creativity, inspire their peers, promote inclusive teaching practices, and challenge misconceptions through outreach programmes.

Please be aware that due to limited time and financial resources available, we regretfully cannot respond to any inbound enquiries or applications.
