The Rank Foundation was founded by the flour miller and film maker Arthur Rank.
The Foundation is built on his enterprising spirit, commitment to community and Christian faith. We work in communities across the UK to encourage leaders, develop entrepreneurial mindsets and form strong networks to tackle society’s challenges.

William Wyatt, Chair of The Rank Foundation
The Rank Network is one of those really unique spaces that brings together leaders from all walks of life and builds on strengths through creating meaningful and lasting relationships. I am very proud to be part of a network that has such a great impact across the UK.

Any sector you can think of, you can find someone connected to Rank who works in it. As a young person just starting to grow her networking skills, speaking to such a varied group of adults in established careers gave me invaluable breadth of vision.
