For an application form, visit the charity’s website: www.puc.org.ukThe Prestbury United Charities were formed from a number of small village charities. The earliest of these was founded 20th December 1646 and known as Poor’s Ground. Its object was to pay the whole yearly income to the churchwardens for the relief of the poor inhabitants of Prestbury. There was an almshouse in Prestbury consisting of six rooms and a small garden where eleven people lived. In the centre of the house was the inscription ‘The gift of Ann Goodrich for the religious poor of 1720’. The almshouse had no funds for its maintenance and so was generally maintained by the Poor’s Ground charity. During the 19th century several people left money to be invested and the interest was to be used to help the poor of their parish. Nine separate charities were amalgamated to form Prestbury United Charities by a Scheme sealed by the Charity Commissioners on 3rd June 1969.Website: http://puc.org.uk/ Email: clerk@puc.org.uk Registered Charity 202655
