Welcome to the Greggs Foundation

The Greggs Foundation is an independent charity (number 296590). It was established in 1987 by Ian Gregg, founder of the Greggs bakery chain and continues to have a very close association to bakery firm Greggs plc. The charity started from humble origins, making small grants in the North East of England and has developed into a professional organisation donating over £1.4 million in 2011 throughout England, Scotland and Wales.

Formerly known as the Greggs Trust, the name was refreshed in 2009, along with a new mission of ‘making a difference to the lives of disadvantaged people in the heart of Greggs’ local communities’. The Greggs Foundation has four principal grant programmes through which it delivers real positive difference.
