Welcome to Fakenham Charities

Fakenham Charities is a collective of charities which roots can be traced back to 1647 and incorporates some of the towns famous names such as Townshend and Goggs. The charity has been established to support two key areas. The first is to support those “in need”, distress or financial hardship, and the second is to support educational grants. Students of Fakenham can also apply for a bursary from the charity to support their education in university. We pride ourselves for being able to consider most applications as we do not rely on grants from any authority and are not restricted by any terms from funding.

The charity is self-sufficient, and although donations are gratefully received, our funding is generated from investments.

 

Fakenham charities have supported many grants over the years and have covered items from school uniforms, washing machines and funeral bills.

 

The charity can look to offer support to any resident within Fakenham and the parish of Hempton although consideration will be applied to students of Fakenham living outside of this area.

Each application is treated with the strictest confidentiality and information is only shared with the trustees of the charity.

 

The charity is here to support those in a time of need, and we would encourage anyone to contact us for any support you require.
