The Printing Charity (previously known as the Printers’ Charitable Corporation) was founded in 1827 by George and Charles Searle and their employer, John King, an independent printer, in the Kings Head Tavern in Poultry, London. With a history stretching back almost 200 years, we are one of the oldest benevolent charities in the UK. The Printing Charity exists to provide practical, emotional and financial support for colleagues across the print, paper and packaging industries.
