Robert Ashton Biography

Robert Ashton is a well-known business author and social entrepreneur who founded the Norfolk Community Foundation in 2005, which has grown to have close to 4 million endowments. The Foundation has awarded more than 1 million in grants to community groups this past year. Ashton has also written 12 best-selling business guides, which have been translated into 18 languages and well-received in the UK and internationally. He is also a director of Ethecol, a company that processes ethical credit and debit card payments, and a Patron of Hertfordshire Action on Disability, which provides equipment to help Hertfordshire's disabled individuals maintain their independence. Ashton's book, "I Know Someone Like That," donates half of its proceeds to the Time to Change campaign to end mental health discrimination, a think tank founded by Ashton. Stephen Fry, the actor, wrote the foreword to Ashton's book and called it "a magnificent counterblast to the stigma and prejudice ignorance and fear that afflicts the realm of mental health in this country."
