About the charity
About the charity
The James Henry Blake Charity was established in 1909 under the terms of the last will and testament of James Henry Blake, a well-respected businessman and former Mayor of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, who came originally from Chatteris in Cambridgeshire.
Church Street, Mansfield 1871: James Henry Blake helped renovate some of the older buildings in Mansfield such as this decrepit timber framed building, which he bought in 1893 that stood on the corner of White Hart Lane.
We support children in our local area so that they can have experiences and activities they might not otherwise have.
