Brockley Charities

History

Brockley Charities was established in 1871 for the benefit of the poor of the village.

In 2012 the purposes of the charity, as registered with the Charity Commission, was changed to betterreflect the needs of villagers today. To this end the majority of the income from it’s investment fund was reinvested in order to build up capital. This enabled a significant amount to be donated towards therenovation of the village hall, a facility which has ultimately benefitted many people in the village.

 

The charity does, however, continue to have funds available for individual grants for villagers encountering unforeseen hardship who need financial help. This may include grants for student books, those affected by the current cost of living crisis, health issues, etc. Applications are considered on an individual basis, are

subject to availability of funds and treated in the strictest confidence. Please contact any of the trustees if you wish to discuss an application, either on behalf of yourself or someone you know.
