Welcome to the Woodsmith Foundation

The Foundation, an independent charity, was launched in 2013 to leave a positive legacy from the Woodsmith Mine to the boroughs of Scarborough, Redcar and the North York Moors National Park.

Anglo American pledged a four year £4m funding package to the Foundation when it acquired the Woodsmith Project in March 2020. Longer term, it will be funded by a percentage of mine revenue, which is expected to amount to several million pounds per year.

The Foundation distributes funds to local community projects, which can range from education and skills training to improving local facilities or environmental initiatives and community asset projects.
