The deadline for entries to the 2018 Almshouse Association Awards is 14th January 2019.
To honour the vital role almshouse charities play in today’s social structure, The Almshouse Association introduced 2 new awards to complement the Patron’s award and to make our awards more inclusive to all members.
Our three categories of awards distinguish and recognise the many wonderful innovations taking place throughout our membership to benefit their almshouse residents.
The Patron’s Award – instituted by HRH The Prince of Wales and introduced in 2000 to encourage and celebrate excellence in architectural and living standards and to recognise outstanding projects and developments.
The Gardens and People Award – New for 2018 – For charities that can show how they have enhanced the lives of their residents by providing gardening and/or outdoor activities.
The Innovations for Living Award – New for 2018 – For charities who can demonstrate unique innovations within a project that have added significant value to a resident’s life.
The awards are open to all member charities that have completed projects in 2018 and there is still time to submit your entries. If you are in any doubt about your idea, please do not hesitate to call us on 01344 452922
