We are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Alec Reed. His vision and generosity transformed UK philanthropy – from founding The Big Give to creating the £1m Sir Alec Reed Prize, recently awarded to UK Youth.
His support is helping us deliver vital work so that young people experiencing mental health problems can access and sustain employment.
Our thoughts are with his family, the Reed Group, and all who were touched by his extraordinary legacy.
