The Trustees of Haddenham Parochial Charities are: Alan Rose (291004); Steve Sharp (290597); John Wheeler (296134); John Wilson (291200).
The Haddenham Parochial Charities consist of the three registered ancient charities:
Alms Corn (237265)

Revd John Willis (205529)
They were originally intended to provide bread, coal, and seed corn for the poor of the parish. Nowadays grants of money are made. In 1903 the trustees bought the allotment field to rent to the Parish Council. This gave an income for the charities as well as providing the benefit of allotments for the village.
The Haddenham Parochial Charities now make payments of money to individuals in need and to parish organisations that help those in need.
Applications for a grant are sought from individuals from 01 November to 01 December for payment before Christmas. Application forms are made available at the Post Office, the Medical Centre, the Parish Office, and Blooming Fruity. Names of applicants are kept confidential to the trustees.
