The Jo Cox Foundation makes meaningful change on issues that the late Jo Cox MP was passionate about.
Our vision is of society underpinned by an enduring belief that “we have far more in common than that which divides us”. One where our communities and our democracy are strengthened by connection and a respect across difference.
The change we seek to make
We work with communities and across society to strengthen connection, trust and respect by:
- Working alongside communities to build relationships and support community-led action.
- Catalysing a movement rooted in the belief that “we have more in common”, bringing people together to build confidence, support connection and create positive change.
- Advocating for change that increases connection, respect, and safety across our communities and politics.
Stronger Communities
We want less lonely, better-connected communities across the UK, where everyone feels that they belong.
A Safe and Respectful Democracy
We want anyone, regardless of their background, to feel able to participate in our political discourse and be treated with respect.
Tackling Loneliness
We want policy responses to tackle loneliness and strengthen social connection.
Our Values
We make change led by the values through which Jo lived her life:
Ambitious
We believe, like Jo, that there should be no ‘too difficult to deal with’ pile.
Collaborative
We believe that achieving real change requires us all to pool our strengths and exchange our skills and resources.
Empathetic
We believe that kindness and compassion are signs of strength, and that only by understanding others can we build relationships and bridge divides.
