The Old Talbot House Foundation celebrates and promotes Tubby Clayton’s important message: that fellowship, hope and humanity can be found in the darkest of times – irrespective of rank, religion or status.
Talbot House itself is owned and run by a Belgian charity, the Talbot House Association, which focuses solely on the challenge of keeping Talbot House operational. Talbot House relies mainly on income from visitors and residents for operational support.
Firstly, we wish to generate a level of annual subsidy to Talbot House, to ensure its independence and resilience in challenging times.
Secondly, to offer a safety net to Talbot House for significant capital projects. These projects could include structural repairs to conserve the fabric of the House, upgrade technology within the House and to invest in the exhibition spaces which share the stories of Tubby and Talbot House.
Thirdly, we wish to continue to promote the ethic of Talbot House, Tubby Clayton’s writings and the archive. We believe that these are very relevant to the challenges of the contemporary world and that we can promote his values and work through education and by funding academic fellowships.
To achieve these aims, we must increase our current levels of capital investment significantly.
As a London based charity, we are able to reach out to the diaspora of 2nd and 5th Armies: the grandchildren of the men (British and Commonwealth) who fought in the Ypres salient and who passed through the doors of Talbot House.
We believe that you will recognise not only the importance of preserving the House, but also the importance of preserving the legacy.
