Oakham United Charities is a small group of local, independent charities that date back hundreds of years. The Charity of Henry Forster (founded in 1692) and the Rutland Society of Industry (founded 1785) were both set up to financially assist young people in the area to learn a trade or occupation. This legacy has continued to today, with young people in Rutland able to access this grant to help their training or studies.
