Foundation

The Rigby Foundation operates on the principle that success in business goes hand-in-hand with giving back to society and communities.   

Founded by Sir Peter Rigby in 1992, the Foundation is a registered charity (No. 1011259), operating independently of the Rigby Group but receives Group funding for its activities. 

As a family business, giving back and philanthropy remains very important to us and over the last 30 years the Rigby Foundation has supported multiple charities and causes, with an emphasis on those that are close to the communities in which we operate, and those relating to lifelong learning, health, and education.
