Congratulations to Sandra, the new Chair of Trustees for the St John’s Foundation charity. We look forward to working with you #almshouses bathecho.co.uk/news/community… via @BathEcho

Association @NickPhillipsCEO and PR Mgr Gerry Harmon met with our engagement partners Connect to discuss political strategy. Many thanks to @coyleneil MP who joins the ranks of MPs in Westminster supporting our campaign for more almshouses to have access to S106 funds.

Chairman of The @AlmshouseAssoc, starts the new year with a visit to the wonderful Friendly #Almshouses in Brixton where he met with Jo Walker (Trustee) and Felicity Stonehill (Chair) for a catch-up.

Following @AngelaRayner's announcement addressing the #affordablehousing housing crisis, we hope the planning review of small-scale development opportunities enables #almshouse charities to provide additional much-needed homes and communities that will be available in perpetuity.

Almshouse Association CEO @NickPhillipsCEO was delighted to meet MP @DSimmonds_RNP yesterday. David was very interested in the way the almshouse model can support residents with a strong community of good neighbours & plans to help raise the profile of #almshouses in Westminster

The various small, large, discreet and secret gardens at Appleby Blue Almshouse are so amazing this summer. Thank you Goddards Landscape team, and course @GrantAssocs for designing them.

Did you know #Bournville’s almshouses are celebrating their 125th birthday this year?! 🤩 We’ve been working with the University of Birmingham to uncover and explore the history of the almshouses. Find out more at bvt.org.uk/news-and-event… @History_Bham @TricksterPrince

The oldest form of social housing in Britain, charity-run almshouses are still going strong. In many ways, they are the ideal retirement homes and can even boost life expectancy ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/money/retireme…

Great review on the documentary that "dispels a fair few myths and misconceptions about ageing". Showing at the Forum, Hexham on 22 July and then touring. Take a peak into the lives of the residents of Hoptons #Almshouses @UnitedStSaviour theguardian.com/film/article/2…

#Almshouses are often the only form of truly affordable housing in rural areas – why are more not being built? Read @NickPhillipsCEO blog here: almshouses.org/news/more-alms… #affordablehousing #SupportAlmshouses #community

During #RuralHousingWeek, we urge the next government to recognise almshouses as affordable housing in their planning policy. In some rural areas, almshouses are the only affordable community homes and save the state around £43 million annually. Why not support them? #almshouses

#Almshouses are often the only form of affordable housing in some villages- keeping communaties live and vibrant means having proper affordable housing.

Reviewing the @UKLabour manifesto, Association @NickPhillipsCEO appreciated the support for brownfield site development, exemplary design, and the Home First principle for independent living. #2024electiondiscussion #almshouses #affordablehousing

Reviewing the @Conservatives manifesto, The Almshouse Association @NickPhillipsCEO welcomes the increased housing targets and support for smaller-scale community housing. #2024electiondiscussion

Reviewing the @LibDemPress manifesto, @NickPhillipsCEO is pleased to see their support for rural exception sites, brownfield sites, areas needing local homes, plus an independent taskforce. These measures could release a flow of local, affordable, community homes. @EdwardJDavey

One of the most beautiful places in Fulham are the Sir William Powell Almshouses down by @AllSaintsFulham and Putney Bridge.

Allow small #almshouse charities access to @HomesEngland funding to build more new #almshouses.

Almshouse charities aren't identified as #affordablehousing in government’s National Planning (NPPF) definition. In some constituencies, when trying to build more #almshouses for people in need, charities are being charged an affordable housing contribution under S106 obligations
