Founders Circle
Under the leadership of HRH The former Prince of Wales, our Founders Circle brings together leaders from the British Asian community – building the influence of the diaspora to support positive change in South Asia.

“The Founders Circle brings me together with like-minded individuals who want to see South Asia prosper and be free from inequality and injustice. As a member, I’m proud to see the difference that my contribution is having to the British Asian Trust.”
