The Marsham Older People’s Project (MOPP), the beneficiary of the bequest, is a registered charity that runs a centre for older residents of Fairlight, Pett, Pett Level, Three Oaks and Guestling. The centre offers information and advice on health along with podiatry and other health services.

MOPP’s ethos is that a day away from home can offer many benefits to frail older people, providing stimulation in the company of others as well as the chance to eat together. The centre also helps carers by offering them the chance to have some time for themselves.
