Having transformed my own life through the performing arts, and seeing the potential for it to do the same for others, particularly those coming from a position of disadvantage; I set up the Rudolph Walker Foundation to provide inspirational role models and positive activities which empower young people to overcome the obstacles which they may face in life, and build positive futures, as limitless as their imaginations.
Below are some of the programmes run by the Rudolph Walker Foundation…
This is a perfect fit for Elimu. His championing of the Academy and it’s programmes have elevated Elimu as a leading advocate of Carnival arts on the global stage. Whether Norman, Patrick or Rudolph, he is our champion.
Rudolph has become a dear friend over the years and has played a pivotal role in raising the awareness of prostate cancer. He has walked with us at our Walk & Talk Prostate Cancer events and has always shown his support in any way possible. Rudolph is a truly remarkable man and we are extremely proud to have him as an Ambassador for our charity.
friend, advisor and supporter.
It has been our privilege to support the annual Rudolph Walker inter-School Drama Awards.
The experience offers our young leaders the opportunity to volunteer their time by
selling programmes and collecting donations with the added benefit of watching
a fabulous drama competition and meeting professional actors. We look forward to continuing our partnership and seeing the Awards grow over the coming years.

As our Patron Rudolph Walker sits well with our cause in supporting our maturing Caribbean Diaspora. Throughout the years Rudolph has been part of our community albeit mostly from the TV screen. This interaction applies to the parents and the children of the Windrush generation and now the grand and
great grandchildren. Each generation has a story to share about Rudolph and the impact he has had and is still having on their lives with his daily presence on TV and more so since is now one of our Patrons. His natural ability to engage with all generations and cultures is an asset to our Charity.
Rudolph has also played a crucial role in encouraging more people of black and mixed race heritage to donate blood, particularly in helping us recruit more male blood donors, which is vital for the regular transfusions needed by those with sickle cell. We are deeply grateful for his dedicated support and the significant impact he has made in our community.
