About Us

Founded in 1989 by the late Mr David Clarke, the Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation is a registered charity situated on the edge of Charnwood Forest. The Foundation is mainly dedicated to Ivy Shuttlewood, David’s mother, who by marriage became Mrs Arnold Clarke. Her spirit of faith, love and giving to which she dedicated her life still lives on in the wonderful work of this unique, local charity.

The main focus of the Foundation’s work is to ease loneliness and suffering and to offer comfort and support to the elderly and adults of all ages with disabilities, throughout the Leicestershire area.
