The British Council Circle is a community of influencers, thought leaders and philanthropists – connected by their passion for the arts – who share our vision for a more peaceful and prosperous world.

Through the generous support of our patrons, we can further our important work showcasing the best of UK art, building connections and trust between in the UK and other countries, and improving the lives of millions of people around the world.
