We offer assistance to those in need within the Parish of Cullompton
About the Charity
Cullompton United Charity is an amalgamation of charities which have been formed by gifts from local benefactors over many years.
CUC is both an Almshouse Charity (with nine Almshouses in Cullompton), and a charity able to help those within the Parish who are in need and who qualify for assistance. Investment income funds the Trustees' work to help those facing hardship.
We also administer the "George Spicer" charity which can provide limited help for school leavers entering higher education or a career.

Cullompton's established* residents can benefit from a number of charitable schemes.
Our volunteer trustees manage nine local Almshouses,
United? While two of the original charities (Grant Homes and George Spicer) remain separate and still operate in their own right, many smaller ones were formally combined by the Charity Commissioners into a single United Charity so we could more easily reflect the needs of modern society.
We currently own 2 pieces of land in Knowle Lane, Langlands which is leased to DCC for use as a playing field for Willowbank Primary School and Stocking Close which is used by the Cullompton Rugby Club.
Adults and community organisations with genuine needs may also qualify for help within the framework set out by our Trusts.
So - whether you need help for yourself or others within Cullompton, or fancy offering your services as a possible trustee, have a look around this website or contact our clerk for more information.
If you, someone you know, or your community organisation within Cullompton may be "in need", please contact us for more information.
The help we can provide is governed by the terms of the charities we operate and the availability of funds or accomodation. Qualifying requests are considered within the sole discretion of the trustees.
