Greatham Allotment Charity
The Allotment Charity for the labouring poor was founded to provide financial assistance to any parishioner of Greatham who finds him (or her) self in a position of ‘temporary or permanent financial embarrassment’.
The charity, registered charity number 254151, is officially known as the "Allotment for Labouring Poor", and was originally founded on 4th November 1851 to help the poor of the village by providing land on which they could grow their own food. The charity was updated in 1899 and in the 1920s. The scheme governing the Charity was officially approved by the Charity Commission on 12th August 1969.
Today we are very much a financial assistance charity, so if you, or anyone that you know, finds themselves in a position where they need a little help, why not ask us? The request must come from the person in need, but any requests are kept in complete confidence - no one outside of the trustees will ever know who has been helped by the charity.
