The Redbourn Charities organisation can be traced back to 1889 when they were known as the Redbourn Parochial Charities. In 1964, the earliest donations, together with those given subsequently were amalgamated under the current title. The new scheme was introduced stating that the poor of Redbourn could be helped with gifts, useful articles, comforts and weekly allowances. The Vicar was an ex-officio Trustee, but this was not a church charity and members of any religious denomination, or none could benefit.
