The Paramount Foundation – Investing in our local community

The Paramount Foundation is the independent charitable arm of Paramount Independent Property Services. Our Mission is to invest in the communities in which we operate to improve the lives and wellbeing of the people within them.

Our Vision

“A thriving and inclusive community, where people have equal access to the opportunities, resources and services that enable them to lead fulfilling lives”.

Matt Salisbury

FOUNDATION MANAGER

“I’m in an incredibly fortunate position to manage the Paramount Foundation.
As someone who feels passionately about creating opportunities, building
communities, and encouraging healthy living, I’m lucky that my passion is my job.

We have built a fantastic service that has helped and supported so many people and had a major impact on mental and physical health. I’m committed to expanding the Paramount Foundation’s services to enable us to reach further areas and continue to support people’s lives, improve wellbeing, and invest in our communities.”
