President's Welcome

More than 200 years ago Edward Colston constructed almshouses to help the less fortunate. Today our role is far more wide-ranging. Through the provision of grants, we help reconstruct a quality of life for those who need it most.

There are few charities that enjoy the long and illustrious history of the Grateful Society. We believe this is because the Society has always adapted to help whichever section of the community seems most in need - currently those aged 55 or over who are living in reduced circumstances.

Initially help was given by providing funds to a group of senior citizens for such basic needs as coal. This group still receives both pastoral and financial support aimed at keeping them in their own homes. In addition financial assistance is now given to sheltered homes such as Cote House and Robinson House and funding is provided to give powered wheelchairs to housebound individuals.
