The Dr. Martens Foundation has a mission to advance social justice.  

For decades, musicians, subcultures and bold individuals have been adopting Dr. Martens footwear – not only to stand out from the crowd, but to stand for something too. 

This is a legacy we’re proud of. A legacy that is more important than ever.

In today’s world, personal freedom, rights, opportunities, and expression are increasingly being threatened. And voices are being silenced. The Dr. Martens Foundation was set up in 2021 to help build a fairer tomorrow.

We’re an independent charity with a mission that is rooted in everything the Doc’s community stands for - and, together, we're driving impact as a collective.
