Founded in 1989 by the late Mr David Clarke, the Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation is a registered charity situated on the edge of Charnwood Forest. The Foundation is mainly dedicated to Ivy Shuttlewood, David’s mother, who by marriage became Mrs Arnold Clarke. Her spirit of faith, love and giving to which she dedicated her life still lives on in the wonderful work of this unique, local charity.
The main focus of the Foundation’s work is to ease loneliness and suffering and to offer comfort and support to the elderly and adults of all ages with disabilities, throughout the Leicestershire area.
The Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation is celebrating its 20th Anniversary. Between June 2009 & December 2010, with your support, this unique, local charity would like to raise £20,000 to help it continue offering support, care & friendship to the elderly, adults of all ages with disabilities & young people of Leucestershire for another 20 years.

The Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation is delighted to have been chosen as The Loughborough Building Society’s Charity of the Year for 2009. The Foundation is a local, community based, people centered charity whose ethos of support, care and friendship fits perfectly with the Loughborough, a strong regional Building Society with its roots firmly in the local community and whose motto is ‘Where People Make The Difference’.
We sincerely hope that this association will help raise the profile of the Foundation, make more people aware of the wide variety of work that we undertake and hopefully raise much needed funds that will go towards developing and expanding the work of the Foundation.
