We are the only dedicated national charity helping people of all ages in the printing, publishing, packaging and graphic arts sectors, as well as the allied trades. Our welfare and education work supports people throughout the UK.
Who we are
We are proud of our heritage and since 1827 we have been helping people of all ages working in printing, publishing and packaging. Our origins were in welfare, but over the years our work has grown to include education. Our charitable aims include promoting independence, protecting dignity and furthering education.
