The Breathworks Foundation

Making mindfulness accessible

We are a registered charity, with a mission is to make mindfulness accessible to everyone. Being an organisation that gives back has been important to us from the very beginning. Our Founder Vidyamala was living on benefits for many years before she was able to secure funding through a disability grant to start Breathworks. We know that many who benefit the most from our services are least able to afford it, so we are committed to help those in need through bursaries, scholarships, free resources and other funding initiatives.

Support us today.

What difference will my gift make?

Your gift will make a huge difference to the amount of mindfulness and compassion programmes we can deliver and the number of people we are able to reach. Breathworks provides funding for those unable to afford courses and events because of financial and health constraints, 1/3 of our places on events are given away on bursaries or scholarships. Your gift will help us continue to support those individuals, as well as drive our work to fund more community mindfulness projects. Find out more about our funded projects including bringing mindfulness to the baby loss community and refugees in the UK. 

“The work of The Breathworks Foundation would not be possible without the incredible financial contributions we receive from people who support our work. Whether you support us already, or would like to start, leaving a gift in your Will can help us continue to support people who live with pain, illness and stress to reclaim their lives. We are so immensely grateful for those who help us continue to make this impact for future generations."

~ Vidyamala Burch, Breathworks Co-founder
