Hammersmith United Charities – 400 years of support in Hammersmith

Hammersmith United Charities invests in the people and communities in the 8 northern wards of Hammersmith & Fulham to tackle poverty, deprivation and disadvantage, building on our legacies, wisdom, learning and experience gained over 400 years.

We achieve these aims by:

managing vibrant sheltered housing communities for older people
creating safe, beautiful outdoor environments managed by the Charity’s community horticulturalist with the residents, for people to share and enjoy as neighbours
funding a community based grants programme
match funding the Wormholt & White City Big Local with the Lottery

and by working with local people, organisations and businesses to make Hammersmith a great place.
