The Ancient Parish Boundary

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 Ancient Parish. Grant decisions are taken on a quarterly basis by the fifteen Trustees that either live, work or otherwise have a good knowledge of the Ancient Parish.

Applications are treated in the strictest confidence and you will be informed of the Trustees decision shortly after the quarterly meeting. To find out if your address is sited within our boundary you can find the list of all street names in our Eligibility Checker. Some roads cut across the boundary but these are clearly marked in the checker and in these circumstances you will need to contact the Grant administrator for clarification.

The Trust also makes payments to those on low incomes in financial need.
