The British Asian Trust supports the development of a South Asia that is free from inequality and injustice.

We were founded in 2007 by HRH The Prince of Wales and a group of visionary British Asian business leaders. We back sustainable solutions that enable people to truly unlock their potential and have already touched the lives of more than 4 million people.

By enabling our supporters to turn their values into action, we transform lives. Together we will support a South Asia that is better for all.

The sheer scale of the challenge demands a holistic approach.  Our aim is to achieve greater impact for disadvantaged communities by working with others who are passionate about supporting people in South Asia.

Research

Through research, we identify the most urgent issues, together with innovative, high-impact, scalable solutions. We provide thought-leadership and help supporters see where they can have the most impact.

Convene

We galvanise multiple stakeholders to form powerful alliances, bringing together vital funds, skills and influence. By mobilising collective action, we ensure the whole solution is greater than the sum of its parts.

Amplify

We spotlight uncomfortable and taboo issues. We amplify the voices of the most marginalised and vulnerable people to inspire high-impact action.
