Registered Charity No. 200826

Local aid for need and learning.

Mary Granger's Charity is a charitable endowment that exists for two enduring purposes: to relieve poverty and to advance education in the community it serves.

Our two purposes

A legacy with a double aim

Like many charities founded by an individual's gift, Mary Granger's Charity carries forward the wishes of its benefactor — directed at hardship and at opportunity alike.

Relief of poverty

Practical, charitable aid for local people experiencing hardship or need — help offered with discretion and care.

Advancement of education

Support that helps local people learn, train and progress — opening doors that might otherwise stay closed.

Our purpose

Charitable aid, faithfully applied

The charity's resources are directed by its trustees towards its registered purposes, so that a historic act of generosity continues to do good today.

  • Aid for the relief of poverty among local people in need
  • Support for education, learning and training
  • Decisions made by trustees, in keeping with the charity's objects
  • A lasting endowment serving its community over time

"To relieve want, and to open the path of learning — that the good of one may become the good of many."
