The John Woulds Charity is an old established charity which provides for poor people resident in the parish of Sibsey.

'Poor' is a relative term and today is usually taken to represent being unable to afford some essential item or items.

The John Woulds Charity has assisted people in the past with such things as heating costs, winter clothing expenses, playgroup fees, medical equipment and many other things. Anything will be given consideration by the trustees.

The only criteria are that the applicant must be resident within the parish of Sibsey (or usually resident in the case of students) and have a genuine need which it is difficult to fund.

Please contact Mr John Wigner, The Gables, Frithville Road, Sibsey PE22 0SY or phone (01205) 751318 if you believe that you fall within these criteria and would like to apply for some assistance.

A written application with as much relevant information as possible does help the trustees in making a decision on what help can be offered.
