The Patron Charitable Initiatives were established in 2010 to bring together charitable work ongoing in the Patron business and the philanthropic interests of the Breslauer family, with the following visions:

  • Create positive change.
  • Provide support where life prospects are impaired and empower individuals whose life prospects have become impaired to achieve their potential
  • Reach out to break down barriers and promote understanding.

Women in Safe Homes Fund

The Women in Safe Homes Fund, believed to be the world’s first gender-lens property fund, has been created by Patron Capital with Resonance as a solution to the lack of affordable, safe, and secure homes for women who are experiencing homelessness, are, survivors of domestic abuse, or other complex needs. With Patron’s initial anchor support of £1m, £28m of capital has been raised, and fundraising is ongoing. Agreements are in place and/or talks are progressing with a series of women’s aid charity partners and a pipeline of property has been established.

  • Schools; create initiatives that will have a multiplier effect and directly reach the areas of society where support is needed most, break down barriers and promote real understanding.
  • Foundations; investing in key infrastructure to provide needed support
