| Purpose | Hartshorne Charities dates back to 1624 when the Rev William Dethick left the first money for the deserving poor of the parish. Since then eight other local parishioners have provided money for the parish. All the individual bequests were formed into the Hartshorne Charities in 1963 and are administered by a Board of Trustees who meet quarterly to receive and deal with grant applications. The main condition for a grant is that the person applying must reside in the Parish of Hartshorne. It is especially able to help families of children who find it difficult to provide school clothing, shoes and other items required for school. Grants can also be provided to those in full time higher education to purchase books, equipment etc. to assist them in their studies. Help can be given to individuals and families in need, and to help towards transport costs for visits to hospitals etc. Recurring grants cannot be given; normally they are one off payments. The Charity has arrangements with local shops to provide goods with payment made direct to the retailer. |
| Services | Grants for: buying school clothing & equipment etc; students studying at university who are living away from home; travel expenses for attending treatment in hospital; bedding and furniture for those in need; grants to apprentices for tools and other items of trade; assistance to schools where Hartshorne pupils receive an education; doctors surgeries treating patients from Hartshorne. |
