The Tim Bacon Foundation is a Registered Charity (No. 1173108) and was established in Tim's name to recognise his achievements, continue his legacy and to echo his legendary spirit of generosity. Tim was always vibrant, forever inspiring and generous of mind and spirit. The businesses he led and worked in together changed the face of Manchester's restaurant scene and he left his unique mark on friends, employees and customers alike.

Following Tim's passing in April 2016, We wanted to ensure that Tim's inspiring story was not forgotten and the best way to do that was to support the great people that helped him fight this awful disease. With the help of friends and colleagues across the Living Ventures Group and beyond The Tim Bacon Foundation has been established with the declared aim, to support charities in the fight against Cancer in all its painful and hurtful guises.

The first appeal to be undertaken by the Foundation is to support The Christie Hospital and University College London in their appeal to raise funds for Proton Beam Therapy centres in Manchester and London and the charity will also support the Maggie's Centres who provide much needed free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their families and friends and is a key partner for the clinical services of the Christie Hospital.
