Our Benefactors
Benefactors whose charities, trusts and funds are incorporated within today's Battersea United Charities
Our ability to fund charitable giving across Battersea is thanks to the wonderful generosity of benefactors over the past 381 years, the most recent being in 1996. Roads and buildings across Battersea have been named after many of them.
Please do consider adding your name, or that of your family to this list, and be remembered with great appreciation hundreds of years from now.
