The Charter 600 Charity
(UK, 1051146) Browse events
YTD Raised: £430.00A Brief History The Charter 600 Charity was set up by the Mercers’ Company in 1994 to commemorate the 600th anniversaries of both the Company’s first Charter in 1394 and the first Mastership of Richard Whittington in 1395, and to provide an opportunity for today’s membership to make direct contributions to the charitable giving of the Company. The Aim of the Charity The aim of the Charter 600 Charity is to give grants primarily to small, community based organisations, where a small amount of money will make a big difference. The amount available for grants each year is fairly modest and this is reflected in the average grant size (£500-£1,500). Below are some examples of the organisations and projects which the Charter 600 Charity has supported recently. - Emma’s Bubble Trust - A small local charity in Surrey which was set up in memory of Emma Brandon, who died of cancer at just 16 years old. The Charity raises money to help teenage cancer patients. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant to support the work of the Trust. - Ferrier’s Barn - A day care centre for young disabled people in Suffolk. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant to fund a range of arts and crafts activities at the centre. - Shirts for Soldiers - An enterprise which provides bespoke shirts free of charge to Soldiers recovering at Headley Court, as a token of gratitude for their courage and sacrifice. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant in support of this work. - Martha Trust Hereford - The Charity provides lifelong and respite care for young people with profound intellectual and physical disabilities. The Charter 600 Charity gave a grant to fund musical instruments for the therapy department. - Mangalakara Education Trust - Responsible for the Mangalakara Children's Home and Education Centre in India, the Trust provides food, shelter and clothing to orphaned and ill-treated children completely free of charge.

We started with personal development programmes and in 2011 registered with the charity commission. As of 2016 Glow has had over 300 women come through our programmes and discover value, skills, and confidence.

We are also considering funding activity groups for people with Parkinsons' as this approach has the added benefits of economy of scale and social interaction. A great way to support us is to buy a copy of this high quality book of poetry and art written by three people who know. Chapter and Illuminating Verse is available simply by following the link to our website just on the left of this page. Remember, you get an excellent book and ALL the money goes to the charity. That's win-win. Our Secretary Tom Davenport and his daughter Grace completed the 300km Robert Louis Stephenson Trail in southern France. See their blog here and why not sponsor them - they did it for EQUIP.
