The Almshouse Association is so very pleased to be able to offer Christmas fund vouchers again this year to almshouse residents who are 90 years of age or older on 25th December 2023!
The Almshouse Association Christmas Fund derives its origin from a generous legacy left to the Association over 70 years ago by Major Allnatt, a successful businessman and philanthropist who worked closely with and supported our founding General Secretary, Leonard Hackett. It was important to Major Allnatt that his gift remained a secret until his death, many years ago now, but his legacy lives on in the form of a gift to every almshouse resident over 90 every Christmas.
You’ll find an order form to apply for the Christmas vouchers in the Autumn Almshouses Gazette (being sent to all member charities this week) or you can click on this link to download the form to complete and send back to us.
Please complete and return to The Almshouse Association by email or post before the 22nd November 2023.
All gifts are issued on a first come basis and will be sent to the member contact detailed on your form in time to be given to your residents on Christmas Eve (The Almshouse Association will not send vouchers directly to the resident).
We love to see photos of the heart-warming occasions, so with your residents’ permission, please do keep sending them in to us!
