Overview
Greenwich Charity's registered objects are limited to relieving people in need who live in the area of the ancient parish of Greenwich. Its Charity Commission entry lists thegreenwichcharities.com as its website — a shared site for a group of Greenwich charities — which says the group can help residents living within the postcodes SE10, SE3, SE7, SE13 and SE8 whose council tax is paid to the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and organisations that support residents within these boundaries can also apply. Because that postcode list covers the group rather than this charity alone, applicants near the edge of the area should confirm with the charity which member of the group fits their address. A friend, relative or carer can fill in an application form on someone's behalf. Its register entry shows an income of £14,479 in its latest year on record; no breakdown of typical grant amounts is published.
