To give small annuities, special one-off grants, etc to ladies of any denomination who are in need and unable to earn. Grants are approved by the committee and temporary help can be given if the need is urgent. We give priority to ladies who are trying to maintain their own home although we also help towards a shortfall in care home fees.
