Stretton on Dunsmore Charities

Each year the Stretton Charities have funds available to help villagers in need. The Trustees are concerned at the low number of requests being received each year and wish to ensure that individuals feel free to enquire in confidence about the possibility of financial assistance.

Following a revision of the Stretton Charities, approved by the charity commission, the trustees are able to award small grants to villagers in the following categories.

• Young people up to the age of 25, in further education or vocational training, who need assistance to purchase books, equipment, tools, etc.
• People of any age who need help following illness, bereavement, redundancy or any other misfortune which has affected their financial position.
• People with a disability who require assistance to pay for services to support them eg. payment of a gardener for essential maintenance.
• Senior citizens who are in need for whatever reason.

If you fall into one of the above categories or know someone who does, please contact the Clerk to the Trustees for further details.
