The Reading Dispensary Trust
formed in 1802 when a need was identified to provide medical services to those who were sick and in need.
Reading Dispensary Trust is a medical charity that makes grants for equipment and services not available through statutory sources to those suffering from physical, mental illness or disability.
The Trust prides itself on providing support to which you can be assured of receiving serious consideration to any applications made within the guidelines set down by the Trust.

Applications from other worthy causes for general (non-individual) uses are considered at the Trust’s meeting in October.
If you are a registered charity within 7 miles of Reading town centre, then please apply in writing before October.
