The Walcot Foundation (previously known as the Lambeth Endowed Charities) is an independent grant maker concerned with addressing the needs of people in poverty living in Lambeth, London, United Kingdom. The Foundation can trace its origins to the 1620s. It is the product of a number of endowed charities set up between the 1620s and the 1950s, all broadly concerned with the relief of the poor. The ‘area of benefit’ is coterminous with the modern-day Borough of Lambeth, one of London’s 12 inner boroughs and one with relatively high levels of deprivation and social need. The principal constituent charity is the Walcot Educational Foundation, named after Edmund Walcot(t). By his Will of 1667 he left seventeen acres of land in North Lambeth, close to the River Thames, to provide income for the relief of the local poor. Over the centuries these assets changed and grew and now provide the bulk of the income used to fund grants programmes. More information...
