It is so important we recognise the vital role almshouses and almshouse charities play in todayâs social structure and future affordable housing.
Many of you have such incredible sites and have been working hard to make improvements, increase the number of almshouses and improve the standard of almshouses available to local people in housing need. We encourage you to share your work with your peers and the wider public by partaking in the award process.
This year, The Almshouse Association is pleased to be able to present four different awards to distinguish and honour the many wonderful innovations taking place throughout our membership to benefit their almshouse residents.
