Local charities in Buckinghamshire have the chance to secure a share of more than £120,000 through Angels’ Den 2026, a flagship event hosted by The Clare Foundation.
Now in its fourth year, Angels’ Den provides charities with the opportunity to pitch their transformative projects to a panel of influential entrepreneurs. The evening offers a funding pool of £120,000, contributed by six visionary entrepreneurs, matched by The Clare Foundation, as well as a £10,000 Audience Fund. Charities that demonstrate innovative ideas with the potential to make a lasting impact in the community will be eligible to receive funding. The Clare Foundation is particularly encouraging collaboration this year, recognizing that the region's biggest challenges won’t be solved alone. The event is open to CEOs and senior leaders who are ready to share their vision for change and have a transformative idea that could benefit the people of Buckinghamshire. Charities selected to participate will present their projects to the panel of entrepreneurs, known as "Angels." The Angels will allocate the £120,000 fund based on the strategic approach and potential impact of each charity's proposal. The event will take place on Wednesday, 9th September 2026 at The Elgiva Theatre, Chesham, and will be hosted by Bucks Radio presenter Nathan Cooper. Charities wishing to take part are encouraged to apply before the deadline of 11 May 2026 at 10:30am..
