Wraxall Charities CIO

Helping Residents of Wraxall and Failand in times of Hardship and Need

Our charitable aims and objectives are to provide assistance for the purpose of the relief of  hardship and need to people residing in the parish of Wraxall & Failand. 

The charities began in 1635 when a bequest to the people of Wraxall by the Marchioness of Northampton was used to purchase land, the rent from which was to be distributed amongst the poor as the churchwardens thought fit. Over the years other bequests were made for benefit of the people of the parish.  In 1962 these charities were combined and in 2024 the charities became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) administrated by trustees, including the Rector of the Parish of Wraxall with Failand.

We may be able to help you with a grant for a specific purpose if you live in Wraxall or Failand, are suffering hardship and are in need of financial support.

If you work in our community providing support to adults or children you are welcome to contact us to see if we may be able to financially assist your organisation.
