Overview.

A clear, community-focused charity website that explains how the Trust funds local projects and makes it simple to apply or donate.

The Haslemere Penny Ha’Penny Trust is a charitable trust that gives grants to organisations and projects that improve life for people in the Haslemere area. Its name honours Hannah Oakford, the town’s last water carrier, who charged a penny ha’penny for a bucket of water until 1898. We designed and built a WordPress website, donated through the Delivered Social Green Initiative, that tells this story and connects the Trust with local groups and supporters.

WordPress CMS: Trustees can add newly funded projects and update pages themselves.
Activities Funded Log: A dated record of every grant shows supporters exactly where their money has gone, from school equipment to community meals.
Rooted in Local History: Haslemere high street photography and the story of the town well give the site a real sense of place.
Simple Funding Applications: A dedicated Apply for Funding page with a downloadable form makes it easy for local groups to ask for help.
Free Website Design & Build: The Trust’s website was created at no cost through Delivered Social Green, so every donation can go straight back into Haslemere.

The Challenge.

Showing a small local trust’s impact and making giving and applying effortless.

The Trust relies on local generosity and wants as many community groups as possible to know that funding is available. The website needed to build trust quickly, show real examples of grants at work and make the routes to donate, claim Gift Aid and apply for funding clear and easy.

Showing Real Impact: Make it easy to see the projects and people that grants have helped.
Easy Giving: Bring donations, Gift Aid and the donor dashboard together in one simple journey.
Reaching Local Groups: Help schools, clubs and community projects understand how to apply.
Great on Mobile: Keep every page clear and readable on a phone.
