The Elmswell Poor's Land Charity is open for applications for a Christmas gift, which will be in the form of Co-Op vouchers. If you, or anybody you know, are experiencing particular hardship at this difficult time, the charity would be happy for an application to be submitted. The applicant needs to have lived in Elmswell for over 3 years. Last year, successful applicants received £125 of vouchers, so it is worth applying if you are in need. Please note that determination of relative hardship will be the sole discretion of the Trustees. The application form is here
