Support Lench’s Trust – A Legacy of Care Spanning Over 500 Years

For more than half a millennium, Lench’s Trust has stood as a beacon of compassion, dignity, and community. Founded in the 1520s by William Lench, a Birmingham merchant with a vision for social good, the Trust has evolved from its humble beginnings into a vital provider of sheltered housing and support for older people across Birmingham.

Through centuries of change — from the Tudor era to the digital age — it is your generosity that has sustained our mission. Donations have helped us preserve historic buildings, expand our housing schemes, and offer life-enhancing services that promote independence, wellbeing, and connection.

Why Donate Today?

Today, the need is greater than ever. As the cost of living rises and our communities age, many older people face isolation, financial hardship, and declining health. Your donation can:

• Provide safe, comfortable housing for vulnerable residents

• Fund social activities that combat loneliness

• Support vital upgrades to facilities and technology

• Ensure our services remain accessible and inclusive

By donating today, you become part of a story that began 500 years ago — and help write the next chapter in the lives of those who need it most.
