Established in 2020, the Caledonia Investments Foundation was initially established to provide grants to eligible applicants closely connected to our investee companies, who faced financial hardship due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Today, through the Foundation, we are proud to support causes which link closely to Caledonia’s history, values, culture and team.
Our impact
The Foundation provides support to a number of charities each year and seeks to create an enduring legacy by supporting the development of a small number of these through a multi-year donation programme.

Horatio’s garden
Creating and nurturing accessible gardens in NHS spinal injury centres, the charity provides therapeutic green spaces designed to improve recovery and wellbeing. By combining horticultural design with patient engagement, it builds welcoming sanctuaries that support physical rehabilitation, emotional resilience and community connection for patients, their families and hospital staff.
Cornwall Community Foundation
Raising funds and distributing targeted grants to grassroots organisations across Cornwall, the Foundation supports projects that tackle poverty, isolation and opportunity gaps. By empowering local charities and volunteers, it ensures resources reach those most in need, helping to build stronger, fairer and more resilient communities throughout the region.
Maritime Volunteer Service
Provides education and training in all aspects of imaritime skills and knowledge. The Service supports local communities by providing safety cover at events, assisting in emergencies and preserving maritime traditions. Through practical education and community service, it nurtures skills, builds confidence and keeps the UK’s seafaring heritage alive for future generations to learn from.
The Passage
The Passage is a leading homelessness charity based in the heart of Westminster, supporting people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. They believe that as a society, we must reframe homelessness as something that is prevented from happening in the first place, rather than simply being managed when it does. They operate one of London’s largest Resource Centres alongside five accommodation projects, providing vital services that help individuals to rebuild their lives. Their vision is a future where homelessness no longer exists, and everyone has a safe, stable place to call home.
