About the Samuel Lindow Foundation

The Samuel Lindow Foundation is an independent educational charity based on the Westlakes Science and Technology Park in West Cumbria in the United Kingdom.

We celebrated our twentieth anniversary in 2012. We have been operating, since February 1992, to advance the education of the public.

The mission of the Foundation is to advance the education of the public and by doing so secure real public benefit. The Foundation recognises that, as global citizens, we live in an increasingly interconnected, interdependent world. We are stewards of the planet, and are members of a global community.

The Foundation promotes and encourages the development of education, collaboration and the international exchange of, science and culture, to advance knowledge, understanding, opportunities and the flow of ideas.

The Foundation is an independent educational charity managed by a Board of Trustees - experienced academics and professionals, each of whom bring a unique perspective on the issues the Foundation address. The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the largest UK universities, is the Member of the Foundation.
