Uxbridge United Welfare Trust (UUWT) this week purchased and delivered 20 laptops to families struggling with lockdown learning. Working in conjunction with 10 local schools the Trust has supplied laptops and chromebooks to help youngsters continue with their education during the pandemic.

The new Almshouse will be named Ossulton Court. This is to honour one of the founding fathers of the Trust Lord John Ossulton, who donated a very considerable sum in the 16th Century! He wanted to help the most needy and we still continue this process over 500 years later.
This year we have again donated over £100,000 to local people. The Trusts is always willing to look at how it can assist the residents living within the schemes area of benefit.
