How to apply

To all Applicants for an Almshouse,

Please note:
  • We do not provide medical or care support, nor a warden, and it is essential that all almshouse residents are able to care for themselves.
  • The Trustees require each new almsperson to pay a monthly maintenance contribution. If you are successful in your application you will occupy the almshouse as a beneficiary of the Charity and as a licensee of the Trustees, and not as a tenant. Any sum paid by you will be regarded as a maintenance contribution and not as rent.
  • Evidence may be called by the Trustees in relation to your health.
