ABOUT SJP: ST. JAMES’S PLACE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

St. James's Place Charitable Foundation

Money has the power to change lives, but real change happens through people. That’s why the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation has been supporting those in need since 1992, funding small and medium-sized charities that make a real difference in their communities.

So far, the Foundation has raised over £139 million, helping millions of people across the world. Its mission is simple: everyone deserves the opportunity to prosper, not just the wealthy few.

The Foundation focuses its grant-making on four key areas:

Children and young people: Supporting those with physical or learning disabilities and those facing disadvantage
Hospices: Helping provide comfort and care for those with life-limiting illnesses
Cancer support charities: Funding vital services for individuals and families affected by cancer
Mental health: Backing charities that provide crucial mental health support

Most of these grants go to smaller charities – organisations that may not be in the public eye but play a vital role in their communities.

It's never too early to start planning a secure future for you or your family. Whatever your goals, we're here to guide you every step of the way.

TESTIMONIALS

See what our clients say

Nothing speaks louder than the experiences of our clients. Here’s what they have to say about working with us.

I’ve been working with Luke for a few months now and the experience has been exceptional. He took the time to truly understand my financial goals, both short-term and long-term, and offer tailored advice that feels both practical and strategic.Luke is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, always willing to explain complex financial concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. Whether it’s retirement planning, investment strategies, or budgeting, they consistently provide thoughtful recommendations that align with my risk tolerance and objectives.

I went to see Luke after a friend had let me know about his experience he received, luke helped me basically plan my future goals and explained what is best for myself going off the position I am in. I would highly recommend luke as he has helped me with my pensions and also future investments…great guy, great experience!

Luke has been a massive help since he started handling my account, offering excellent insight and always being available to talk when we have needed his advice.

Having met Luke in the last couple of months, sorting my pension and savings for my wife and I has been easy going. We have understood the process from start to finish because he explains everything in layman terms. Would recommend Luke to anyone who needs advice in these matters

Matt has proved very knowledgeable and a great ambassador for Rhodes Brook Financial Ltd. Very responsive to my needs and speaks in a language we all understand - Plain English. Well done Matt

We moved to Rhodes Brook from another investment company. We have appreciated the strategic advice, the speed and level of service and the returns given. They showed us that we were not getting the most out of our pensions and investments, these guys helped us have a greater income each month with a very clear plan for the future. They closely watch legislation directions and help plan for that too.

Entering the world of finance can be daunting but Luke has guided myself and my wife Julie through it with ease and reassurance,we now understand how everything works and couldn’t have chosen anyone better, thanks again to Luke and everyone at Rhodes Brook Financial Ltd

I found Rhodes Brook advisor to be professional and helpful with all my enquiries and I would recommend this company to others, thank you for your assistance

We have been clients of Matthew at Rhodes Brook for several years, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for sound financial advice. When he is confronted by a situation he is not completely familiar with, he researches the subject and gets back to you, rather than give a possibly poor judgement.

Simon has been our financial advisor for over 18 months. He has been honest, very informative and trustworthy. He has answered all our questions and our texts. He maintains regular updates with us, explains the whole process and keeps me calm.

Recently met with Luke and appreciated his interest in my particular circumstances and what is best for me. I've been with Rhodes Brook for a while and trust the advise received and appreciate the simple explanations of things I don't understand. Id recommend both Matt and Luke who have helped me a great deal.

so glad luke was recommended to me he explained things to me in simple language that I understood he put me at ease and made me feel comfortable would highly recommend luke to anyone needing a financial advisor

Contacted Luke after being made redundant I have never had to sort anything like pensions or finance out before so I didn't know what to expect. From our first meeting he was so friendly and put my mind at ease he explains everything in a way you understand and has really helped me stop worrying looking forward to the next meeting
