Small grants making a big difference
We aim to help people change their lives for the better by providing timely grants for essential household items and clothing for individuals, couples and families.
We were established in 1939 with a permanent endowment from Richard Louveteau Glasspool, a Hertfordshire businessman and philanthropist. He experienced financial hardship as a young man, but when his income became more than enough to meet his personal needs, he started to provide financial support to individuals. He died in 1949, aged 65, but his legacy lives on in the Glasspool Charity Trust.
