Bridging the Generations

The Beth Johnson Foundation

The Beth Johnson Foundation was established in 1972, and during this time has focussed on a range of projects, evaluations and research explicitly addressing the needs of people over the age of 50 years +. Primarily supporting the local communities of Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire, we have subsequently reached out to UK wide initiatives to establish a national profile around age related themes. We pride ourselves on maintain a key objective of being a catalyst for change, with older people remaining at the very heart of what we do to ensure all of our work remains fit for purpose and evidence based.
