The Dr. Martens Foundation is an independent charity rooted in everything the Doc’s community stands for.

Through our mission, ‘Backing the right to be yourself’, we work with partners across the globe to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to step into who they are, and who they can be.

For decades, Dr. Martens footwear has helped people move through the world with comfort underfoot and the confidence to express who they are. In 2021, the Foundation was born from that same spirit, to focus on tackling the barriers stopping people from being seen, heard and safe to be themselves.

Since then we’ve committed over £4.7 million in funding to support charities driving vital change in the heart of communities. We’ve championed everything from LGBTQ+ rights, disability inclusion and youth creativity, to homelessness support, racial justice and anti-trafficking.


This is impact that’s being driven by the collective. It’s powered by the partners driving change on the ground, the donors and employees who give their time and support, and the global Dr. Martens community who share our belief in everyone’s right to be themselves.
