Almshouses raised again in the House of Lords

The Almshouse Association would like to express its thanks to Baroness Joan Bakewell DBE, HonFBA, FRSA for raising a question in the House of Lords regarding Section 106 agreements.

Although Baroness Bakewell, who is also an Almshouse Association Ambassador, did not receive an immediate answer, we look forward to hearing from the Government on the points she raised.

We are proud to see our engagement efforts beginning to bear fruit with an aim to see almshouses regularly mentioned in Parliament. You can help us in this effort by reaching out to your MP who can reach out to The Almshouse Association to support our work and that of the movement. You can also invite them to join the APPG on Almshouses which has its first meeting on February 4th.
