Following a letter sent to The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak MP, The Almshouse Association has received a response in the form of a letter from Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, Kemi Badenoch MP, representing The Treasury.
The letter sets out in detail what support is being provided to charities at various levels to support them and enable them to continue to provide their vital services. The full letter can be found here.
Here at The Almshouse Association we are glad that the Government is listening to and responding to our concerns. The levels of political engagement with the almshouse movement during this ongoing coronavirus pandemic has been exceptional and we are incredibly grateful for the support and cooperation of politicians from all parties across the UK.
