Who we are, what are our goals…

The Crysalys Foundation was initially established in 2016 by a small group of Northamptonshire business leaders who wanted to make a positive difference for their community. Now the foundation has a diverse Board of directors and a number of high profile patrons working together as change makers for a better future.
