The Almshouse Association

The Almshouse Association serves as the national support organisation for over 1,500-member almshouse charities across the UK. Dedicated to championing the almshouse movement, the Association offers comprehensive information and guidance on a wide range of issues affecting almshouses and their operations. Collectively, these member charities provide homes for approximately 36,000 residents nationwide.
 
Over time, the Association’s services have evolved to meet the changing needs of its members, now encompassing guidance manuals, policy documents, and model templates, alongside training, seminars, interest-free loans, and funding opportunities. Additionally, the Association offers a platform for members to advertise resident vacancies, exchange best practices, and share knowledge through local meetings and an active members’ forum.
