Pitstone Parish Charity (261752)

Originally the ‘Allotments for the Labouring Poor’ charity but a revised scheme was approved in March 2004 to broaden the objectives to ‘the relief of persons resident in the area of benefit who are in need, hardship or distress’.

This charity disposed of its old allotment land and now has a financial holding which is invested.  The Charity set up the Pitstone Step-Up Grants Scheme and utilises the interest earned from the investment to fund grants to Pitstone Residents.

Pitstone Step–Up Grants are grants available to eligible Pitstone residents.  They are designed to relieve hardship, need or distress by enabling the long-term transformation of the recipient’s quality of life in some way.  This could be through removing barriers to enable an individual to pursue a life-improving opportunity that would otherwise have been unaffordable, or to complete some form of training or upskilling that will demonstrably improve their professional or earning potential, where funding is not available from another source.

Full details are provided within the Trustees Annual Report and Accounts and via this page of the website: Pitstone Step-Up Grants – Ivinghoe & Pitstone Village Website

The parish council is also custodian trustee to the Pitstone Memorial Hall Charity, which is managed by a separate Management Committee.
