The Almshouse Association held a meeting today (April 26th) with our local Member of Parliament, Theresa May MP, to discuss issues affecting the almshouse movement and how the Association is looking to tackle them.
We discussed the issue of recognition of almshouses from central and local government, as well as the wider public. We also talked about the potential for new almshouse development being held back due to this lack of recognition.
We were glad to see that Mrs May was well aware and an active supporter of her local almshouses in her Maidenhead constituency.
The Almshouse Association would like to thank Mrs May for taking the time to attend the meeting.
