Liss, Greatham and Hawkley Friendship Fund

The Liss, Greatham and Hawkley Friendship Fund is a UK-based nonprofit charity registered under the number 204372. Its primary mission is to provide financial relief and support to residents of the three villages—Liss, Greatham, and Hawkley—who are facing immediate domestic difficulties and have insufficient resources to manage these challenges.

Purpose and Activities

The charity is dedicated to the prevention or relief of poverty within its community. It offers small grants to help with urgent domestic needs, aiming to support children and young people, elderly individuals, and people with disabilities residing in these villages. The grants are intended to assist those who cannot otherwise afford necessary assistance, providing a vital safety net for vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the local population.

Beneficiaries

The Fund helps a broad spectrum of beneficiaries, including:

• Children and young people in need
• Elderly or older residents requiring support
• People with disabilities facing financial hardship

Governance

The charity is managed by trustees responsible for overseeing its operations, management, and administration. These trustees ensure that the Fund operates according to its charitable objectives and serves the best interests of its beneficiaries.

Community Role

As a local charity, the Liss, Greatham and Hawkley Friendship Fund works alongside other community organizations to address social welfare needs. It is distinct from but complementary to other local bodies such as the Liss Youth Fund, which supports educational and training needs for young people, and other charitable organizations providing healthcare and transport services.
