Story

We are ordinary people in the Hornsey Ward and we have set up mutual aid groups to help with shopping for people isolating who cannot leave their homes. Some people have no access to cash at this time, and we want to fund small grants of 20 pounds to help people with a bit of shopping. We are also considering ordering from wholesalers a bank of supplies for vulnerable people. If you would like to donate we would be very grateful. Hornsey Parochial Charities, set up to support vulnerable people in Hornsey, are holding the money for us. Any money left over at the end of the crisis will be donated to local food banks

About the charity

Hornsey Parochial Charities was set up in 1620 for “the maintenance of eight poor men of the Parish of Hornsey” Today, we continue to assist anyone with need who resides within the old parish boundary of Hornsey to alleviate the effects of poverty and promote educational and economic achievement. We do this through the provision of grants in 3 areas: 1) Personal grants To residents in need to help with essential items such as clothing, bedding for the cost of heating and lighting. 2) Educational grants To young people under the age of 25 years to assist with education expenses or to prepare for a career, profession or further education. 3) Local organisation grants To charitable organisations who provide homes or services for the elderly, infirm, homeless or other organisations providing services to the local community, including the provision of grants to schools, community and youth organisations.
