The Grocers’ Charity
The Grocers’ Charity is the charitable arm of the Grocers’ Company. Although the Grocers’ Company has an historic tradition of dispensing monies to diverse charitable causes, it was not until 1968 that the Charity itself was formally established. It is administered by The Grocers’ Trust Company Limited, and the Directors of that company are the Court of Assistants of the Grocers’ Company.
The Charity has wide charitable aims. Each year the majority of its annual expenditure is committed in the field of Education, by way of internal scholarships and bursaries at schools and colleges with which the Grocers’ Company has historic links. The balance is spread across several areas of interest, namely the relief of poverty (including youth), disability, medicine, the arts, heritage, the Church, and the elderly, with emphasis currently being given to the first two categories.
