About us
What we do and why
Supporting the industry for nearly 200 years
With a history stretching back almost 200 years, we are one of the UK’s oldest benevolent charities.
The Printing Charity was originally established to support printers and their dependents, but as society and print has evolved, so too has the definition of our sector and those we help.
We are the leading charity in the printing, paper, packaging, publishing and graphics sectors, and the allied trades. Operating nationally, our mission is to provide practical and emotional support to people in our industry whenever it’s needed, along with financial support for those who are struggling. We are also committed to championing young talent within our vibrant industry.
Every Monarch since Queen Victoria has been our charity’s Patron, and we are very proud that King Charles III has also taken on this role.
