More veteran almshouses take shape | The Almshouse Association

Skies the limit, onwards and upwards!

The Buchanan Trust have been incredibly busy over the last few years. Having completed four new almshouses for army veterans last year, they are now full steam ahead with the building of two more.

They sent us a fantastic time lapse video of the installation of their new roof and floor trusses, writing,

“A cracking day onsite for The Buchanan Trust – Supporting Veterans, allowing the CJ Bayliss Ltd team install the new roof and floor trusses for two Almshouse Veteran cottages.

The renovation of the old dairy and stables will provide a further two new almshouse Veteran cottages later this year. This project comprises of one x 1 bedroom being fully DDA compliant; and one x 2 bedroom property that will be available for this Nation’s veterans and their families.

Specific thanks to The Buchanan Trust’s main funders: The Almshouse Association, Homes England, Saffer Cooper Consultancy , Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities – Community Led Homes, The Eveson Charitable Trust, Sandy & Zorica Glen Charitable Trust and Veterans Raffle.“
