We are pleased to share our most recent research report into how almshouse charities managed during the pandemic.
The Almshouse Association commissioned The Smith Institute to carry out the report so that we could learn about the difference our members made and what lessons we can learn for future emergencies.
The report, based on an extensive series of interviews, seeks to understand the impact of the pandemic on almshouse charities and their residents and examine the impact almshouse charities made since the first lockdown.
It places the spotlight on the positive contribution the almshouse model made during the public health crisis and extended periods of social isolation, identifies the lessons that can be drawn from the past two years and highlights the challenges the sector faces going forward.
The Smith Institute and The Almshouse Association hosted an online event on 11th October 2022 to mark the launch of a new report looking at the impact of the pandemic on almshouses.
A recording of the event can be found here.
