WHAT WE DO
Richard Cloudesley's Charity operates in an "area of benefit" which is the modern Borough of Islington excluding areas south of Chapel Market and City Road (see map). The Charity assists people who are sick and poor and also support the Church of England churches in this area.
We are an independent charity operating three grant programmes: Health, Welfare and Church Grants.
We work in synergy with other local funders and are one of the core partners of Islington Giving.
The Charity was founded in 1518 under the Will of Richard Cloudesley, an Islington resident, and is now governed by a Charity Commission Scheme of 1980.
The Charity has always funded its grants and all other costs from income derived from investments that are residential properties in the Cloudesley Road area of Islington and marketable securities.
