Recommend those interested in beautiful, high quality affordable housing take a look at this piece by Nick Phillips on almshouses. Almshouses are too important to leave to the state, he writes, but the state can certainly help almshouse charities in their vital work

Almshouse Association Nick Phillips looks at how we can expand upon James Vitali thoughts in his recent The Times and The Sunday Times article.

Today, Helen delivered a talk at the AlmshouseAssociation Warden and Scheme Manager's Seminar. It provided a valuable opportunity for us to talk to people working with older adults about the impact of olfactory disorders and how they can be an early indication of health problems.

To mark National Gardening Week from The RHS, we're sharing photos of this beautiful plot at Alexandra House which is carefully looked after by our resident, Alan. #NationalGardeningWeek #NationalGardeningWeek 2024

Absolutely and something that also was picked up by the archbishops’ Housing Commission which reported in 2021. Find examples range of how the church and other faith communities create homes and help connect communities ⬇️ housinglin.org.uk/Topics/type/Co…

Excellent and timely contribution to housing debate. Almshouses are a tried and tested formula which the Church should expand #housing #churchofengland

For 200 years, Trinity Homes Almshouses has provided shelter, community and respite.

It was a pleasure to join last week's bicentenary celebrations as they launched an exhibition celebrating this work at the newly opened Lambeth Archives.

Hi Paul We have been working closely with the Church for many years and they are supportive of the almshouses. There are a number of church and almshouse projects being considered now but not enough! CofE could make a generational impact by using land to build #almshouses

A very thought provoking article and sets a clear proposal for supporting #almshouses not just a roof but because of the value of strong communty that #almshouses provide. Thank you James

In my column for The Times and The Sunday Times this week, I write about how the The Church of England can recover a sense of social mission by building a new generation of beautiful, charitable almshouses. Highly recommend looking at the great work AlmshouseAssociation are doing

Good piece by Nick Phillips. Almshouses have a long tradition of providing refuge & a place to make a home for vulnerable people including those threatened by homelessness or roofless. We captured the work of Worcester Municipal Charities in this #HLINstudy here:
