The Charity of Sir Matthew Holworthy was founded by will in or before the year 1680.

The Charity of John Weadon was also founded by will on the 26^th of March 1866. The two were merged into Winsham United Charities on the 26^th of February, 1912.

The Holworthy charity was originally for apprenticeships and enabled trustees ‘to make

awards to boys and girls resident in the Parish of Winsham who show 'real academic and

 technical ability.’

Winsham United Charities are now able to consider grant requests of between £20 and £200, from young people living in the Parish of Winsham, for help with the costs of: equipment; tuition; events; activities; and travel expenses.
