The Langford Welfare Trust
In February 1899 the Langford Welfare Trust distributed 2cwt (51kg) of coal to each family they considered in need and one loaf of bread to each child attending the Board School. Today things are different but there are still people who need some financial support to pay for important things in life.
In the last financial year there were six disbursements of funds to Langford people for travel and accommodation costs for school trips to residential centres for education and development. In addition the Trust provided funds for Langford Brownies to purchase equipment. In this current year the Trust has been supporting Langford Friends and providing funds for more school trips.
The trust derives its income from investments, a gift from the parish council, the rent of Town Land, and the letting of fishing rights.
If you live in Langford and are having difficulty with paying for something that is important to you and your family why not see if a payment can help you out? The Trust can provide funds for such things as basic items of furniture, school uniforms, books, travel costs, tools, equipment, training costs, or any welfare related item.
