Little Gaddesden Charities Fund
Established in 1997 (as a combination of a number of established local charities), the Little Gaddesden charities has supported individuals and families in Little Gaddesden Parish for 25 years.
The charities’ sole purpose is to help individuals or families resident in the parish with small one-off requests for financial support.
The committee are aware that local parishioners may or may not be aware of the charities and wish to promote the purpose to all residents.
Requests for support are made by, either contacting The Revd John Russell on 01442 214898 or by emailing vicar@littlegaddesdenchurch.org.uk. – John chairs the charities’ small committee of trustees based on his role within the Parish; alternatively Pat Catchpole (01442 842544) as secretariat.
In such a period of financial uncertainty and with the cost of living crisis it is even more important to ensure that members of the Parish are aware of the support availability, and we would welcome being able to provide more support from funds available.
All requests are treated with the utmost confidence and no personal information is shared.
We would also welcome any local organisations providing information of how to access the charity in any wider communications they may undertake.

The Gaddesden Society’s Constitution
The Gaddesden Society’s original constitution, dating from 1945, has recently come to light, courtesy of Lyn Hyde. A copy is available here, and a copy of a contemporaneous explanatory leaflet ‘How it All Came About’ is available here. We are planning to update the constitution to be better suited for the way we operate today.
If you are aware of any amendments or updates that have previously been made to the 1945 constitution, it would be really helpful to the committee if you could please let us know as soon as possible by email to gadsoc@littlegaddesden.org.uk.
