Help us share the magic of almshouses
We’d love your help in highlighting the incredible difference almshouse living can make to people’s lives.
As part of our efforts to raise awareness about this unique, but often overlooked form of charitable housing, we’re hoping to meet residents who might be happy to share their personal experiences.
We’re especially keen to hear how being part of a supportive, welcoming community has made an impact, particularly for those who may have felt lonely or isolated before moving in.
These stories can inspire others, shift perceptions and shine a light on the vital role almshouses continue to play today.
If you know of any residents who might feel comfortable having a relaxed, informal chat with us – perhaps over a cup of tea – we’d be truly grateful for an introduction.
Please drop a line to gerryharmon@almshouses.org and we’ll be in touch to arrange a time that suits.
Thank you so much for helping us share these vital stories and champion the enduring value of almshouses.
