The Almshouse Association supports independent almshouse charities across the UK, with a clear focus on helping member charities improve, expand, or build housing for older or otherwise in-need residents. Its funding is tightly tied to capital projects rather than general operations, and it appears to prioritize practical, place-based improvements that preserve and modernize almshouse accommodation. The Association also recognizes exemplary projects through awards, suggesting a strong interest in high-quality design, resident wellbeing, and inspirational housing models.
Provides interest-free loans and grants to member almshouse charities, with a structured four-stage application process and quarterly deadlines. Funding is aimed at capital works such as refurbishment or new-build projects, rather than unrestricted or programmatic support.
Only member almshouse charities are eligible, and applications follow a formal four-stage process. Plan ahead for the quarterly deadlines (28 Feb, 31 May, 31 Aug, and 30 Nov) and be prepared to show clear capital plans, project costs, and how the work will improve or expand almshouse provision.
