About us
Walton Charity is an amalgamation of 11 charities, the oldest of which dates back to before 1212. The Charity works in the ‘Ancient Parish of Walton’ to provide almshouses, allotments and grants and relief for those in need. The Charity works principally in the Ancient Parish of Walton on Thames, including Walton, Hersham and Oatlands. Some of the Charity’s services benefits are available to individuals from Elmbridge and the wider community.
