THE ODIHAM CONSOLIDATED CHARITIES
The main activity of the charity is to run the Almshouses at Gurney Court, Benford Court and The Old Court, Odiham. In addition to running these Almshouses, the Trustees seek to fulfil the wishes of their benefactors by relieving need in the Parish and by making donations to three local schools in the form of library grants.
