THE TIBET RELIEF FUND OF THE UNITED KINGDOM 

Founded in 1959, within weeks of the Dalai Lama reaching India, Tibet Relief Fund is the oldest UK based charity working with Tibetans. We support practical grassroots initiatives in education, health, skills training, sustainable livelihoods, rights, culture. Tibetans inform our work, we respond to the needs of Tibetan communities. Our size and structure means we can act quickly and with agility.
