The Drigg Charity

The Drigg Charity is the overarching body that administers and manages all the funds (The Drigg Charity, Drigg & Carleton Community Fund and the Drigg & Carleton Bursary Fund). It is a registered charity and it has 11 trustees – 8 serving Drigg & Carleton Parish Councillors and at least two independent persons from the community, along with one Official (Secretary and Treasurer).

The aims of the Drigg Charity are to support and enhance community life in the Drigg & Carleton Parish (subsidising social events for young and old, improving the local environment, and supporting access to education and skills training).

The Drigg Charity Trustees currently meet monthly excluding August. No minutes or accounts  are published on this website as the Drigg Charity is not a public body; however the latest audited accounts are  available on the Charity Commission website.
