Established in 1962 by Sir Julian Hodge

Sir Julian Hodge was an entrepreneur and banker who set up three banks during his lifetime, as well as having a wider involvement in the business community in Wales.

Originally established as The Jane Hodge Foundation in 1962, the charity was launched with a gift of £2.5 million in commemoration of Sir Julian’s mother, Jane. The Foundation has since derived its income from the businesses controlled or managed by the Hodge Family.
