The Gloucestershire Society Caring for Gloucestershire since 1657 The Gloucestershire Society was founded in December 1657 by fifty Gloucestershire gentlemen wealthy merchants who lived in Bristol. Their aim was to distribute some of their wealth through the charitable foundation which became known as The Gloucestershire Society to those of Gloucestershire birth who had fallen upon hard times. To this very day The Gloucestershire Society keeps to the original goals of those fifty Gloucestershire gentlemen and distributes small grants to those in need in Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire and Bristol north of the River Avon providing them with immediate help.
