The Aldridge Foundation is an educational charity founded by Sir Rod Aldridge to help young people to reach their potential and improve their communities, principally through the sponsorship of entrepreneurial academy schools and colleges.
We are unafraid to challenge conventional thinking and a culture of low expectations, and believe there are no limits to what people can achieve.

The Grade II listed Marine Workshop was constructed in 1882 and used to repair both train and ship engines and was actively used until the early 1960s.

Sir Rod Aldridge
I established The Aldridge Foundation in 2006 after retiring from Capita, the business I set up which became one of this country’s most successful companies.
My Foundation harnesses entrepreneurship for social change. I want it to help young people reach their potential, and improve their communities, too.
