The Worshipful Company of Poulters

The Master Poulter's Pelican Trust

A very small City livery company trust for the relief of poverty, sickness and distress, or any other charitable need, within the City of London and other London boroughs. The Company stresses that the Trust has very limited funds and normally awards successful applicants amounts in the low hundreds of pounds, sometimes less. The committee spreads its recommendations across several categories to reflect the charity's objects, and meets only once or twice a year. There is no form: applications are written to the Clerk.

Who can apply

  • The Company publishes no eligibility criteria beyond the Trust's objects: the need being relieved must be within the City of London or another London borough, and must be for the relief of poverty, sickness or distress, or another charitable need
  • No organisation type, size, income limit or track record is stated, and there is no stated bar on applications from individuals
  • Note that the same page covers two other, quite different Poulters' trusts that are easy to confuse with this one: the Nepton Trust, for the poor and needy of the ancient parish of Barking (present-day Barking, Dagenham, Ilford and Redbridge) and for education for the children of needy Freemen and Liverymen; and the Poulters' Charitable Trust, which funds poultry, egg and game industry education and student projects at British colleges and universities

What it funds

  • The relief of poverty, sickness and distress, or any other charitable need, within the City of London and other London boroughs
  • Such other charitable purposes as the trustees may in their absolute discretion from time to time see fit

The Charity Committee attempts to spread its recommendations for support over several categories to reflect the objects of the charity.

  1. Write an application addressed to the Clerk, who will ensure it reaches the Charity Committee
