The Charity of William Williams is a small, place-based UK charity focused on relieving hardship among residents of the ancient parishes of Blandford, Shaftesbury, and Sturminster Newton. It appears to support local organizations that help individuals in need with basic assistance, welfare support, and practical help, including pathways into work, apprenticeships, training, college, or a trade. Its giving is highly local and community-oriented, with a clear emphasis on organizations that can directly serve people living within its footprint.
Grants are made to organizations with offices based within Blandford Forum, Sturminster Newton, or Shaftesbury that directly assist local residents; giving appears to be small, local, and likely trustee-led rather than through a broad open application program.
Organizations should be based within the eligible town footprints and demonstrate direct support for residents in need in Blandford Forum, Sturminster Newton, or Shaftesbury. Emphasize tangible assistance, local reach, and how your services help individuals with hardship or progression into training, education, or work; contact the trustees directly or follow the charity’s local grant application process if available on its website.
