Almshouse Association

The Almshouse Association was formed in 1946 at a meeting held in the Chapter House of Southwark Cathedral. Initially restricted to London, in 1950 it went national.

The objects of the Association are to assist charity trustees to manage their resources effectively, to support them in providing good quality housing for those in need, to promote the welfare and independence of residents and to preserve the historic tradition of almshouses for future generations. Today, The Almshouse Association is an essential component of the almshouse movement; we continue to provide support, information and guidance on a broad range of general and specific issues, to over 1600 independent almshouse member charities that provide homes for around 36,000 residents across the United Kingdom.

The Patron's Award was instituted by King Charles III in 2000, when he was Prince of Wales, to encourage and celebrate excellence in architectural and living standards that reflect the historic imprint of a building.
