Sir John Ritblat Family Foundation

A generous gift from The Sir John Ritblat Family Foundation in 2019 enabled the creation of an endowed chair in mindfulness at the University of Oxford. This is currently held by Professor Willem Kuyken, an expert in evidence-based approaches to depression.

In 2024, a further gift from Sir John Ritblat helped the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation recruit a dedicated communications officer, re-brand and build a new website. This provides ongoing support for disseminating mindfulness research and development on a global scale and communicating the joint work of the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation and The Ritblat Professorship.
