“How £100 from the 17th century is still going strong in Hammersmith today”
Thursday April 17th, 6.00pm–8.30 pm, The Greyhound, 49 Becklow Road, W12 9ER

Melanie Nock, Hammersmith United Charities

Hammersmith United Charities traces its origins to a bequest in 1618 of £100 – in today's money about £10,000.

The charity owns and runs two almshouses, one being John Betts House in Rylett Road. Their grant making arm supports many local community connected initiatives and particularly those with an emphasis on helping young people who struggle to find employment.

Doors open at 6pm and Melanie will give a short talk at 7pm with general networking before and after.
