On occasions the Association is asked by our member almshouse charities to provide letters of support to their local authorities which we are happy to do.
These often entail matters such as requests for funding, planning applications or issues concerning residentsā€™ claims for benefits.
It is often found that councils need to be informed about the unique nature of almshouse charities and the way in which they operate in order that such requests may be fairly considered. To this end a letter from the Association (click here to view) has proved to be beneficial, so please do not hesitate to contact us should you have need.
We will, of course, be happy to adapt and expand upon the contents of the letter to allow for specific circumstances.
