Dear Members

You will recall that we are currently in the process of reviewing our guidance manuals, which we plan to have in place in 2021.

The new guidance manual will be an improvement and amalgamation of both Standards of Almshouse Management and the Support and Care manuals. It will be available online in an easy downloadable format and all future updates and reviews will be made available online and in a downloadable format. We hope to be able to also offer a ring-binder for those wishing to download hard copies.

The manual will have three sections:

  1. Overview
  2. Governance
  3. Operational

It will include policies, templates and checklists that each charity can utilise for their individual requirements.

We are aware that when we post updates on the website in ‘Latest News’ and ‘Current Issues’, sometimes the current online manuals lag behind the update. Please accept our apologies if you find this is the case, and thank you for your patience whilst we work on the updated guidance manual.

In the meantime, if in any doubt please do not hesitate to contact the Almshouse Association Member Services for the latest update.
