New GDPR APPLICATION FORM

The John Dorkin Charity provides grants to those in need who live within the boundaries of the map shown which is based upon the Ancient Parish of St Clement / Holy Trinity / St Helen Ipswich

The criteria being those "who are in conditions of need, hardship and distress by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities, calculated to reduce the need, hardship and distress of such persons".

In 1727, Captain John Dorkin left, by will £100 to be used in "relieving either generally or individually persons resident in the Ancient Parish of St Clement Ipswich with a preference for widows and children of seamen who are in conditions of need, hardship and distress". Through prudent financial investment since that time, the fund has increased considerably resulting in the trustees being able to continue to award grants to reduce the need, hardship and distress of such persons. Trustees have also with permissin of the Charity Commissioners increased the catchment area.

Historically, the sum of £1 was also paid to the clergyman leading the service on the 14th September each year, as, on that day, in the year 1716, John Dorkin was "by the providence of Almighty God, remarkably delivered from shipwreck, and preserved in a storm at sea".
