Harkstead has two charities which can provide financial help to anyone living in either Harkstead or Erwarton parishes.

They are known as the Boothby Charities.

One is designed to provide education support for anyone under the age of 25 years. Help need not just be restricted to the purchase of books and equipment for academic study, but can be used more broadly, for example to support development in sports and other areas.

The other Boothby Charity has no age restriction and can provide support if there is a financial need in hardship. It can also be used to assist people seeking employment retraining where the necessary funds are lacking.
