Personal Grants
Cash grants do not fall under The Trust criteria. Personal grants are one-off grants for residents in need who require help with unexpected costs of replacing or providing household goods and furniture.
In a typical year The Old Enfield Charitable Trust administers around £250K in discretionary grants to families, individuals and community groups residing and living within the boundary of the EN1 EN2 and EN3 in the London Borough of Enfield.
