Somerset House is an entirely self-funded charity that does not receive any regular public funding. Realising our full potential as the home of cultural innovators is only possible thanks to the commitment of supporters and partners of all kinds.
Individuals can join our Supporters’ Court patrons’ group, give artists stability through our One-to-One programme or support aspiring creatives at the start of their careers through Somerset House’s Young Talent Fund. We are proactive in working with brands and corporate partners across a range of programmes and events from Skate to the Black Business Incubator, whilst trusts and foundations have played a fundamental role in the constant renewal of our historic site and the expansion of our inclusive talent programmes.
We invite individuals, brands, trusts and foundations to step inside the world of Somerset House and to engage with the artistic and social innovation happening here, getting closer to our audiences and to the artists and creative thinkers who call Somerset House home.
Somerset House Trust is an independent charity that receives no regular public funding. We rely on external support to present our diverse cultural programme, sustain our community of artists and deliver our young people’s programmes.
There are a number of ways you can support our resident Studios artists from sponsoring a studio, donating to the Young Talent Fund or becoming a One-to-One patron.
We work closely with partners to shape bespoke partnerships, bringing to life our shared values through memorable, real-life experiences and creative content to engaged audiences.
We run an active Corporate Membership programme working closely with our members to give partners’ employees and clients access to Somerset House’s distinctive year-round cultural programme both onsite and online.
Our Impact Report & our Annual Report & Financial Statement provide details of highlights each year, how we fulfil our charitable objects & deliver public benefit as an independent registered charity.
Somerset House Trust would like to thank all our sponsors, corporate members, brand partners, donors, trusts, foundations and other funding partners supporting our work:
