Samuel Manninge Charity News
2024 Grants Available
In 1633, prosperous Hartlebury resident Samuel Manninge died, bequeathing in his will, ‘the rents of a close to be distributed amongst the poorest people and poor householders of the parish of Hartlebury’
Every year since, the charity’s trustees have made grants to parish residents in need, paid from the interest earned on the original investment.
The trustees of the Samuel Manninge charity hope to be able to offer a helping hand to residents of the parish of Hartlebury again this year, continuing the philanthropic work that was started 391 years ago by the Manninge will bequest.
Also, the charity accepts donations. If anyone wishes to donate – for example one kind individual donated £300 for school uniform purchases – they should make contact by emailing: clerk.manningscharity@gmail.com
