About United Charities of the Ancient Parish of Blewbury
The two main functions of The United Charities of the Ancient Parish of Blewbury, Upton and Aston Upthorpe are firstly to help people of all ages, who live in these parishes and who may need financial help and/or may have fallen on hard times and secondly to be responsible for the maintenance of the two alms-houses in Blewbury. The charity has the care and upkeep of the alms-houses in the churchyard and we have undertaken and continue to undertake significant investment and improvements in both alms-houses. We cannot emphasise enough the burdensome cost of maintaining these Grade 2 Listed properties to a reasonable, habitable standard
In response to an increase in requests for help, we established a dedicated panel of Trustees to deal with applications. All applications are at the trustees’ discretion and looked at entirely on a case-by-case basis. Amounts will vary depending on levels of need.
Our funds for helping those in need and maintaining the properties are limited. In order for our work, particularly the financial support for those in need in our parishes, to continue, it would be really appreciated if people/organisations could consider making any type of donation, gift or bequest to the charity.
