They are an Village News Perrott amalgamation of three old charities, the Mary Ann Woods, the Henry Parsons and the Mary Mountford Charities. These were founded to support the poor, the elderly and the Haselbury sick of the parish, and to help fund education or tools for work for young people. With low Plucknett APRIL 2016 interest rates, we now have only a small amount to give out each year. We still aim to give grants where the need is greatest and we will consider all applications. For example, if you are struggling to pay heating bills or travel costs for hospital appointments, you may wish to apply for a small subsidy.
