The Clungunford Funds

Clungunford has assets given to the parish around 350 years ago which consist of land and money. The land is rented out and the money invested generating income which is then divided into two registered charities, The Clungunford Fund and The Clungunford Educational Foundation. As registered charities they operate under charity commission rules which protects both the assets and
income.

All who live in the parish are entitled to ask for a grant from these funds at a time of particular need. Grants are not means tested and are available to anyone in the parish no matter their income or circumstances. All applications, information given, and the outcome is totally confidential to the Trustees and Clerk.

Amounts given are dependant on the overall costs incurred, the money available and the judgement of the Trustees. Contributions can only be given if no help is available from public funding. 

All enquiries and applications are received and treated in strict confidentiality.
Any enquiries or applications, including details of the costs, can be sent to the Clerk: Mrs A Gledhill, Abcott Manor, Abcott, Clungunford SY7 0PX or by email to anne@aegledhill.co.uk. For more information please call: 01588 660485
