We are passionate about empowering communities across Lincolnshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.
Through our unwavering dedication to providing financial support, we champion local charities, not-for-profit organisations, and community projects that spark positive change and sustainable development.
By focusing our efforts on initiatives that enhance social welfare and well-being, we don’t just fund projects — we’re fuelling a movement. Join us in our mission to be a catalyst for transformation and help us make a meaningful impact where it matters most.
About the Foundation
The Bradbury Foundation was founded in 2024 by Forrester Boyd Chartered Accountants as a legacy to Lee Bradbury. Lee was Partner and Chairman of the firm’s Louth office who sadly passed away on 12 August 2022 at the youthful age of 40. Lee was a larger-than-life character with a unique sense of humour that endeared him to all who came into contact with him.
The Bradbury Foundation’s purpose is to provide financial support for community projects that will enhance and improve the quality for communities within a 25 mile radius of the Forrester Boyd offices based in Grimsby, Louth, Scunthorpe, Skegness, Beverley and Lincoln.
