The Grocers’ Charity
The Grocers’ Charity is the charitable arm of the Grocers’ Company. As a grant-awarding body, our mission is to invest in and support a broad range of small and medium-sized UK-registered charities that positively impact public benefit.
For our open grants, The Grocers’ Charity has worked with hundreds of registered charities across the UK of different types that improve the quality of life for people and communities. The major causes we support are Relief of Hardship, the Elderly, Disability, Arts and Heritage, Health, Military, Environment, and Children and Young People.
Since the 16th century, churches and education were the primary focus. Today, we support long-term bursaries, provide mentoring and work experience opportunities, and have dozens of Members acting as Governors. We continue to support the preservation of churches, with which we have patronal links and their inclusive community programmes.
