Chairman of The Almshouse Association, Willie Hartley Russell MVO DL, joined Nick Phillips CEO, at the East Midlands Almshouses Regional Meeting to present the national almshouses picture and underpin the great opportunities for raising the profile of the movement by member charities – both as independent individual charities and by us all – working together as a movement.
There was also a detailed discussion about the challenges of defining independent living. The event concluded with a tour of the new almshouses which display the best of the old and new in almshouse architecture. Bright, adaptable, warm and secure – a flagship model.
Many thanks to Chris Jones CEO, Wyggestons for hosting the event.
