Charity
The Prince’s Foundation for Children and the Arts is an educational charity which provides access for young people who would otherwise grow up having had no, or very limited opportunity, to engage with the arts. Through the work of The Prince's Foundation for Children and the Arts children learn that cultural venues are welcoming, accessible and exciting places to visit. It seeks to foster in them a lifelong love of the arts.

Team Octopus - Royal Parks Half Marathon
On 7 October six 'athletes' from Octopus Investments (Martijn Kleibergen, Wallace Lo, Simon Rogerson, James Shenton, Mark Williams, Adam Field) will run the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of The Prince's Foundation for Children & the Arts - Octopus's chosen charity for 2012. PLEASE DIG DEEP TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS!
The Prince's Foundation for Children & the Arts champions the power of the arts to transform the lives of disadvantaged children throughout the UK.
Thousands of children leave school having never set foot in an art gallery, watched a performance in a theatre or listened to an orchestra play. Early engagement with the arts has a positive impact on young people: raising aspirations, increasing confidence, improving communication skills and unlocking creativity.
The charity creates long-term partnerships between arts organisations and their local schools. They enable children to visit their local cultural venue and work with professional artists over a sustained period. They provide specialist training to empower teachers to bring the inspirational world of the arts into the classroom.
Through their work, the charity enables children to learn that cultural venues are welcoming, accessible and exciting places to visit.
