What the charity does
The Charity distributes grants to individuals in financial need in Hertford and the parishes of the rural district. Nominees come from local organizations such as the CAB, Social Services, NHS Primary Care trust and the local churches. The grants can be released very quickly on the verbal agreement of 3 trustees and the grants are later formally approved at a trustee meeting.
