Anita and Gordon Roddick have two daughters and several grandchildren. They founded The Body Shop Foundation in 1990. To date it has donated more than £8 million, approximately US$ 14.5 million, to 180 charitable groups throughout the world.

Roddick became involved in environmental and women’s rights actions around the world as her business became international. After the sale of The Body Shop, she continues this involvement.
