Philanthropists & Activists
With nearly 100,000 charities working tirelessly across Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Debrett’s 500 list is limited to a select number of individuals, amongst so many, whose influence continues to shape philanthropy in the UK. The 2015 Debrett’s 500 has expanded upon last year’s Charity sector to include those influential in activism: a vital and occasionally neglected sector. Our activists have helped to draw attention to issues across a range of sectors, pushing them on to the agenda and helping to promote and protect matters of national and international interest.
