Stewarding tradition. Supporting community.

Small grants and allotment support for labouring people in need, rooted in heritage and service.

About

Who we are

Purpose

We exist to provide modest support to labouring people through community allotments and small grants, preserving a tradition of practical care.

Values

Stewardship, dignity, and continuity guide our work. We emphasise prudence, clarity, and service to the public benefit.

History

The charity’s origins trace to traditional provisions for allotments to support labouring people in times of hardship. Over decades, careful trusteeship ensured resources remained focused on local need and public benefit.

Today, we continue this practical mission with transparent criteria, simple processes, and a commitment to uphold the intent of the original endowments.
