The Printing Charity is the second oldest occupational charity in the UK, and is proud to have provided practical, emotional and financial support to people who work in print, paper, packaging, graphics and publishing since 1827.
The organisation’s charitable aims include promoting independence, protecting dignity and furthering education.
Today the charity fulfils these aims and meets the needs of those it helps through a free 24/7 helpline, financial assistance, welfare support and signposting to specialist services, two Almshouses providing sheltered accommodation for people retired from the sector, and initiatives supporting sector-specific training, with a focus on young people starting out in print through the annual Rising Star Awards.
We’re here for you. For in-the-moment emotional support, 24/7/365, the free of charge Printing Charity helpline can be reached on 0333 212 3534. Practical information and guidance are available via the same number Monday – Friday, 8am-8pm.
