The Almshouse Association was very pleased to see almshouses widely discussed in The House of Lords today (22 Oct 20).
The discussion was led by a question from Lord Kennedy of Southwark with a number of substantive questions following on a series of topics including: the exclusion of almshouses from Section 106 levies and the reduction of VAT on repairs to charitable buildings, such as almshouses.
What we are most proud of is the cross party support for almshouses
and the almshouse movement. Lords from across the House and from Government
acknowledge the vital work our members undertake and the vital service they
provide to their communities.
We would like to extend our thanks to the Lords who raised
questions and who have been in contact with The Almshouse Association in recent
weeks.
