The Almshouse Association Friends of Club

‘Preserving the historic value of the almshouse movement and securing its future.’

Our aim here at The Almshouse Association is to provide a welcoming Club that makes supporters of almshouses feel a close connection with each other, where you can connect and share your passion for almshouses and the almshouse movement.

The Friends of Club will offer some amazing benefits to our ‘Friends’ with a unique calendar of activities and projects that you can get involved in. Other benefits will include a twice-yearly newsletter with updates on the Association’s activities, an exclusive Friends Networking Event, dates of Friends gatherings held across the UK, and case studies and biographies of Trustees, Ambassadors, and Regional Peer Representatives.

We welcome Elizabeth Fathi, previous Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Almshouse Association as our first ‘Friend of The Almshouse Association’

Nick Phillips, our CEO, says, “We are delighted to have Elizabeth as our first honorary ‘Friend’. She will be a supportive addition to this new Club. Her expansive knowledge of the almshouse movement will be an amazing asset to everyone involved in the Friends of Club.  We welcome Elizabeth.”

We will also be welcoming all our Lifetime and Associate Members to Friends.

If you are a Lifetime or Associate Member you will have received a letter with further details of the Friends of Club and we look forward to sharing the many benefits with you over the coming months.

We are busy finalising The ‘Friends of’ Club’s very own website page and we will let you know as soon as this is up and running. In the meantime, if you would like to find out more, please contact David Burton or Gerry Harmon on 01344 452922
