This month, RSA Bath is in conversation with David Hobdey from St John’s Foundation
Established in 1174, St John’s Foundation is one of the UK’s oldest and most respected charities. They provide alms-house accommodation and help people in need throughout the Bath and North East Somerset area; supporting children from birth to 12 years old, older people aged over 55, and people who have come to a point of crisis in their lives.
As a community-focussed charity, they work with local partners with specific knowledge and expertise to implement programmes for positive social change. They invest their funds to support a wide range of forward-thinking initiatives, often challenging the status quo and identifying where systems in society are failing and seeking solutions to fix them.
