The Company of Fellmongers of Richmond Yorkshire

Charitable Activities

At the time of its reformation the Company established a charity with clear objectives. It is worth setting them out.

They are:

To enhance and protect the local environment, to forward and encourage high skill and competence in all handicrafts and the application of standards of excellence in the design and execution of all things made, to foster honest endeavour and good workmanship in all trades and callings, to aid young people in their training and education to assist them in earning a living and to uphold and maintain the elderly and all those no longer able to work by reason of age or infirmity.
 
The charity forms an important part of the Company’s ethos and is administered by an active committee who support many deserving groups and individuals.

Alms Houses

The Company have taken over the Administration of four of the Towns Alms Houses and have recently refurbished them.
