Charities and community grants

The Paddington Charities are the Paddington Welfare Charities and the Paddington Charitable Estates Educational Fund. Those who benefit from funding from either charity must be living in the former Metropolitan Borough of Paddington (W2, W9 and parts of NW8 and W10). Grants are not made in the relief of public funds.

The Paddington Welfare Charities gives grants to individuals, or to organisations that work to benefit residents, who are in need, hardship or distress, or who are sick, disabled or infirm. The Educational Fund also helps organisations and individuals with financial assistance to enable individuals to pursue educational courses or a profession or trade. Funds can also be used for school clothes or educational holidays. All beneficiaries of the Educational Fund must be under 25 years old.
