For 150 years Mr Willats’ Charity has supported churches across the country by making grants, to enable the appointment of lay workers to minister to the lowest and poorest members of society. 

 

The Charity is funded by income derived from the endowment provided by our founder, as well as bequests and donations. This website introduces our people, reveals the work we are doing in Parishes, provides details of the properties available to rent and offers the opportunity to make a donation.

Please look around. And please get in contact if you’d like to know more.

We are currently updating the website. If you wish to apply for a grant please contact us.
