Personal grants for people living in the 1926 boundary of the Parish of Charlwood in Surrey (including Hookwood and Lowfield Heath) who are in need through hardship, distress, illness, disability or infirmity, or for the promotion of their education. Applications are confidential, and for sensitive or urgent cases you can leave a phone number instead of completing the whole form and a Trustee will call.
