About Us
Our History and Mission
In 1917, the Charity Commission listed several charities under the name of Selby United Charities. These charities were founded by James Audus, John Edmonds, Robert Hudson, Thomas Procter, Charles Weddall, and Joshua Rayner. Over the years, these charities have been merged and amalgamated into the Selby Almshouses and Poor's Charity as well as the Selby Feoffee and Welfare Charity. Today, we continue to uphold the legacy of these charitable organizations and provide support to the local community.
