The Stationers’ Foundation

Print Solutions

The Stationers’ Company Charity, the Stationers’ Foundation, is run as an independent registered charity, administered by a body of trustees. One of the Foundation’s key objects is, at the discretion of the trustees, to provide relief to those who are or have been engaged in the printing industry and allied trades, or to the widows of such people, who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress. Whilst preference is given to Freemen of the Stationers’ Company, the charity is accessible to anyone who qualifies by reason of their trade.

There are currently a number of beneficiaries who receive annual pension supplements. The Foundation can also consider more specific financial support for someone with a particular need.

The Foundation therefore has the capacity to help people in need who are associated with the membership of your organisation. The purpose of this message is to alert you to this fact and to encourage you to make it known to your membership. If they know of anyone in need and who qualifies for assistance by reason of their past or present trade, they are most welcome to apply to the Stationers’ Foundation for help. In the first instance they should apply to me, as the Honorary Almoner of the Company.
