The Foundation works across three UK programmes: Social Justice, Education and Learning and the Arts.

A successful arts economy requires not only great artists, but also talented and visionary people who can enable these artists to make great things happen. Paul Hamlyn Foundation has committed £4.5m over the three years from 2007/08 to the Breakthrough Fund, which exclusively supports exceptional cultural entrepreneurs. Total Coverage has been priviledged to design a suite of leaflets that review the nominations and recipients of the Breakthrough Fund awards.
