Mitchell Powell Foundation – Why?
- The Mitchell Powell Foundation was set up in April 2022 with the aim to continue the legacy of Mitch’s charity work
- Mitchell worked tirelessly to support, fundraise and signpost a variety of charities – BHF MIND and individuals facing a tough time
- He carried out all this work whilst living with a congenital heart condition and remained passionate about his causes even when life became a struggle
- Losing Mitch at such a young age has been the driving force behind the foundation and a way for his family to channel their grief to offer support to others

Mitchell Powell Foundation – Where…
- In order to support the foundation we will be organising events on various scales i.e. a simple picnic in the park to an annual ball
- All monies raised will be reinvested into the foundation and used for continued support in helping families.

- We intend to continue to raise awareness and support the various charities that Mitchell was passionate about.
