The Almshouse Association 75th Anniversary in 2021 – we want to celebrate your amazing work!
…
YOUR CELEBRATION PACK
The Almshouse Association is so proud to represent you, our valuable members.
You work tirelessly to provide
support for those in need in your local community and this is what makes
almshouses so valuable. It is clear that the spirit of almshouse communities is
helping to alleviate the isolation that is so prevalent in our society today.
You offer a strong sense of community and warmth that make it possible for
beneficiaries to continue to live independently, often near to families.
As you may already be aware, 2021 sees The Almshouse Association celebrating our 75th Anniversary year. We intend to showcase almshouses and their fundamental importance in the local community. We will be campaigning hard in Government and have just launched a PR campaign to get our message across to the press about how wonderful you are.
We are planning our own garden
party and would love you to join us by thinking about organising your own event,
on site, or at a community location near to you? Â It would be fantastic for us all to join
together and really make the most of this celebratory year to highlight your
achievements.
Our Open Garden Month will be
launched in the spring. Subject to Covid-19 restrictions, this might be a lovely
time to welcome people to view your residents beautiful gardens or patios and
flowerpot displays, to show how passionate residents are about their almshouses,
and why they hold a special place in people’s hearts.
This 75th Anniversary
year will really allow us to capture the hearts of more local people to
encourage further support for your charities and help spread the word about the
key benefits of almshouses.
We have compiled a Celebration Pack that is full of useful hints and tips which will be available after the Christmas break.
To order your pack, please complete the order form by clicking here and return to us. Â The pack is full of ideas and supporting material that will help make your day easier to organise. And remember, we are on hand to offer any further advice and support, where we can!
Thank you for joining us throughout what will be a wonderful year for the Almshouse Movement! We are so excited to be celebrating with you!
