Fletchers Foundation is a charitable foundation launched by Fletchers Group, a trading name of Fletchers Solicitors.
The Foundation was born in 2022, out of Fletchers Group’s aim to be a responsible business.
Fletchers has been providing specialist legal services to seriously injured people since the 1980s and are one of the country’s leading specialist serious injury law firms.
The Foundation was set up because of a long-standing desire to provide more direct help and support to people who have suffered serious injuries or illnesses but who do not have the benefit of a legal claim to pursue.
We provide this support through the use of financial grants that can be used for aids and equipment, rehabilitation treatment, or a whole host of wider uses that will help individuals with their recovery or quality of life.
Our objective is to enable as many people as possible to thrive following a life-changing injury.
If you, a member of your family or a service user of your organisation is living with the long-term effects of serious personal injury, medical negligence or due to illness (born with or acquired), you may qualify for support from Fletchers Foundation, and we’d love to hear from you.

The grant is going to promote/involve any religious or political aspects.
The grant is going to be paid into an individual applicant’s bank account (without an invoice, receipt, or proof of purchase).
Individuals can apply up to £10,000.
We will only support an individual once every 12 months.
Please note there isn’t a limit on how many times a local community group, registered charity, or school can signpost their services users to the foundation in a 12-month period. We will only support that individual once in a 12-month period, but there is no limit in how many individuals come from that local community group, registered charity, or school (within reason).
