Who We Are

Rooted in faith.  Focused on impact.

Our founder, Cecil Jackson-Cole created the charity to tackle poverty, sickness and distress anywhere in the world as an expression of Christian love. Cecil bequeathed Andrews Property Group  to the Trust creating a unique link between us. Uniting us today is a shared vision and set of values.

 

The Andrews vision is where we are leading the way to a world where everyone can find and enjoy the right home and community for them.

 

We are led by values that keep us focused on doing the right thing, working together and always moving forward — by funding bold ideas, backing responsible business, and working together for change.
