The Almshouse Association runs a variety of seminars, training, workshops and webinars for members throughout the year. There is also a library of online training courses that members can take at their convenience.
Seminars
The aim of all of our seminars is to provide information on topical issues and to establish useful links between trustees and clerks, scheme managers and wardens with the staff at the Association. There is an opportunity to gain insight into different views and experiences during the open forum and to keep up-to-date with recent developments in the almshouse movement.
Seminars run from 9.30am to 3.30pm and the cost is £95 per person including teas, coffees and lunch. We strongly advise you to book early as the seminars are often oversubscribed.
