Harold Dean Charities

Registered Charity Number: 266850.

The Harold Dean Charity was set up in 1973 to administer two flooded ex-gravel workings in the parish of Weybread in Suffolk ( now known as the No1 Pit and the Middle Pit). This was at the request of the late Harold Dean, who owned the land prior to his death in 1977. The Charities remit was to gain income from these lakes to redistribute to local churches and other charities specified by Mr Dean. The Trustees have recently purchased the Ocean Pit to increase revenue potential.

The list of nominated Charities has expanded over the years and the current recipients include:

• Scope
• Cancer Research UK
• Harleston British Legion
• Waveney Christian Aid
• Fressingfield Methodist Church
• Norfolk and Norwich Assn for the Blind
• Harleston Methodist Church.
