@Angela Farrant, thank you for your response. Since posting, I have discovered that we are in the same position. However, we have the added issue of having become incorporated (changed status to CIO) recently which appears to have triggered a request from Homes England to repay the ‘grant’ we received over 25 years ago! A warning to all Almshouses to be aware of this fact, as we had no idea this would happen and are currently trying to get legal advice.
