Our Tapestry

Woven Into the Community Since 1800s

Netherbury United Charities has been a cornerstone of support in Dorset for generations, weaving together the needs of our youngest learners and our most cherished elders.

Our mission is clear: alleviate poverty and enhance education by providing targeted financial assistance to those who need it most. We believe that a thriving community is one where every generation is supported, valued, and given the opportunity to flourish.

"Education for the young, dignity for the elderly, and opportunity for all."

Operating throughout Dorset, we work closely with individuals and organisations to ensure our support reaches those who will benefit most. Our approach is personal, our commitment unwavering, and our impact lasting.
