A charity based in Stratford upon Avon with a long tradition of providing supported housing and financial assistance for local people

Our mission is to...

Provide low-cost, self-contained accommodation for older people of limited financial means

Give emergency financial assistance to local individuals and families in their hour of need

The organisation has a long and detailed history of helping local people with housing and grants facilitated via a number of charities set up by well-meaning bodies, philanthropic individuals and families connected with Stratford upon Avon. Over the years, a number of various charities have amalgamated resulting in the existing five separate almshouse charities and three grant-giving charities.
