In this article, I wanted to introduce readers to the Barrow Cadbury Trust – which regularly comes up when I am researching Left-wing funding networks.
The trust has enormous amounts of money at its disposal. Indeed, from 2012 to October last year it handed out over £43 million in grants, according to 360 Giving Data:
The Barrow Cadbury Trust was founded by two Quakers, Barrow and Geraldine Cadbury – the former being the grandson of John Cadbury, founder of the Cadbury chocolate business (hence why the trust has such wealth).
Its preoccupations reflect those of Quakers more generally, one of the most Left-wing cohorts of Western society. Just take a look at these images below from British Quakers’ Instagram feed, which could have been posted by a Momentum activist:
Quakers take their duty to humanity very seriously, which is, of course, not an issue per se – but translates to the Barrow Cadbury Trust and other foundations splurging huge amounts on open-border organisations, such as Asylum Matters (a picture from its website below). You’d forget that Brits were being charged billions per year for migrant hotels, among other types of support for new arrivals, with so much Quaker funding making it easier for the world to move here.
Other groups receiving grants from the Barrow Cadbury Trust include Action for Race Equality (£428,750), Migrant Voice (£387,6000) and the Roma Support Group (£311,100), as well as the ghastly HOPE Not Hate Charitable Trust (£226,500):
The Barrow Cadbury Trust is author of Jami’an: Supporting families separated by prison, a publication that claims to be “grounded in Islam’s approach to justice” and bemoans the overrepresentation of Muslims in prison as if this is the result of some gross prejudice rather than quite troubling:
This resource has been created at a time when Muslims make up 18% of the prison population (as opposed to 6.5% of the general population) – a record high. This means that more and more families have loved ones in prison.
The trust says its “vision is of a just and peaceful society which recognises the equal value of all people”. Some of its goals include “putting diversity, equity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do” and “promoting sustainable development and addressing climate change”. Voters may not agree with the trust’s (or Quakers’) politics, but because of its large funds, they seep into our democracy anyway.
Moreover, there is even a Cadbury in Parliament: Ruth Cadbury, the Labour MP for Brentford and Isleworth since 2015, who is a Quaker and Humanist:
Before becoming an MP, Cadbury was a Director of the Barrow Cadbury Trust (for nine years)…
… and Barrow Cadbury Fund (22 years):
Her Parliamentary achievements include flying to the US to help promote Kamala Harris in last year’s US election…
…and she’s a sponsor of the Assisted Dying Bill (which Humanists support).
Cadbury sits on the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Choice at the End of Life…
…which is sponsored by Secretariat Dignity in Dying…
… and Dignity in Dying, in turn, leads back to the Barrow Cadbury Trust.
Below you will see its Chief Executive, Sarah Wootton:
Wootton is trustee of the Sheila McKechnie Foundation, which is funded by the Barrow Cadbury Trust among others:
Moreover, the Canary did an excellent investigation (I can’t believe I’m praising this publication either) into how the GW Cadbury Trust handed £43,158 to Dignity in Dying’s sister charity Compassion in Dying, which Wootton was also CEO of:
In short, Cadburys and Quakers are having a lot of influence in our democracy – in ways I’m not sure British voters are going to be delighted with.
To top it all off? Taxpayers have been charged for the Barrow Cadbury Trust too…
Conservative ‘austerity’, eh…

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
