About Paul Hamlyn Foundation 

We work collaboratively with organisations and individuals who are working to build a just society. Our funds focus on the arts, education and learning, migration and young people.

Now we have two caseworkers in place, and have taken on three new clients with incredibly complex cases to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve.
