What are “The Greenwich Charities”:
A set of charities, collectively referred to as The Greenwich Charities.
What do they do?
The Charities provide small grants of money to persons who are in need, or suffering hardship or distress, for the relief of poverty. This might be payment for an unexpected telephone bill, a new washing machine or for clothing.
The Charity of Charles Soames provides or pays for items to alleviate suffering of those who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped or infirm.
Who can apply?
Residents living within the postcodes SE10, SE3, SE7, SE13 and SE8 whose council tax is paid to The Royal Borough of Greenwich might be eligible. Alternatively, an organisation that supports residents within these boundaries could apply to the charities for a grant.
