News and publications

Last year, we concluded the second round of funding through the PHF Arts Fund. Looking at the organisations we have supported through this round, we see a sustained commitment to artistic freedom, to working across difference and to celebrating places and communities across the UK.

We are part of a group of organisations collaborating on a new £3.4m initiative announced today.

Our founder, the publisher and philanthropist Paul Hamlyn, was born on this day in 1926. Today, we remember his life and legacy and how it shapes our work.

We’re delighted to welcome James Lingwood as the new Chair of the Board of Paul Hamlyn Foundation. 

After 23 years as Chair of Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Jane Hamlyn will be stepping down from her role in December.

We are pleased to announce the names of this year’s recipients of Awards for Artists – the largest individual arts awards for visual artists and composers in the UK.

Instead of opening for new applications, we will give out the same amount of funding through renewing existing grants and reconsidering applications received over the past year.

We are heartbroken to share that our much-loved colleague, Louisa Robinson, has passed away.
