Each part of the charity has its own purpose, but all are united by a commitment to supporting people across King’s Lynn with dignity and care.
Our work reaches across housing, education, financial hardship and social connection.
Safe, affordable, self-contained homes for local people in housing need, within a supportive and respectful community.
Help towards essential materials, equipment, uniforms, training costs and other educational needs.
Compassionate, short-term assistance for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.
Twice-yearly community lunches offering a warm meal, companionship and a genuine sense of connection.
They are charity-managed rather than profit-making homes, designed to support independence while offering stability and a genuine sense of belonging.
For our almshouses, the Trustees consider an applicant’s housing situation, financial circumstances, connection to King’s Lynn and any other requirements set by the charity.
Homes are offered according to need and availability, so meeting the general criteria does not guarantee an offer. Our grant funds have their own criteria, based on their individual charitable purposes.
Behind today’s organisation are a number of charitable gifts made by local benefactors, each intended to answer a particular need in King’s Lynn.
Those legacies now work together through one charity, allowing their original spirit of local support to continue while the organisation responds to the community as it is today.
Each fully funded three-course lunch offers good food, conversation and a warm welcome. The gatherings help reduce isolation and continue an important tradition of care in King’s Lynn.
They ensure decisions are fair, resources are protected and each historic fund continues to serve the purpose for which it was established.
Speak to us in confidence and we’ll help you find the right information.
