The Charity benefits the elderly and needy of the parish in a number of ways:

1) Widows and Widowers monthly pension
2) Christmas fuel grant for those who receive the government heating allowance.

Each year the Charity Clerk will advertise in Around Pattishall and on the Web-site for new applicants. In an effort to help identify those who would benefit from a grant, members of the parish are requested to bring forward names to the attention of the Clerk.  Applicants are requested to write to the Clerk giving details of age, marital status and the length of time they have been resident in the Parish.

 

The closing date for the Christmas fuel grant is November 12th 2023.

3) General help towards other specific, one-off requirements within the community – this is not age dependant.

Grants will not be made to students in Sixth Form, Tertiary and Further Education Colleges taking A-Level courses or their equivalents.
