Caudwell Children

My vision for a sustainable and efficient children’s charity has inspired thousands of supporters across the UK and I remains the charity’s largest single benefactor and most passionate supporter. By personally paying the charity’s annual administration and management overheads I continue to enable the charity to offer complete transparency to its supporters, with 100% of direct donations going directly to the children and families who need it.

Founder & Chairman Emeritus

Caudwell Youth

In autumn 2022, I heard about a charity that was in financial trouble and about to disappear. Its demise would have meant the loss of a vital service helping hundreds of at-risk young people. I had to help, launching Caudwell Youth to give those affected youngsters a fighting chance at a better life and a brighter future. The organisation supports young people aged 11 to 24 through person-centred volunteer mentoring for up to two years.

In addition to start-up costs, I match 33% of all the new charity’s income, covering most day-to-day administration and management costs.

Founder

Caudwell LymeCo

I found out in 2016 year that fifteen members of my family have Lyme disease as well as a range of co-infections typically found in Lyme disease patients. This inspired me to coin the term “LymeCo” to highlight that this is a complex condition often involving more than one infection.

I was shocked that some members of my family had been ill for so many years before being diagnosed with this terrible illness. I vowed to start a new charity to improve awareness and knowledge amongst the general public and the medical profession.

As chairman of Caudwell LymeCo, I spearhead the charity’s awareness raising work by making television and media appearances to tell my story.
