We promote independent living with dignity, while fostering neighbourly care and belonging.
Almshouses are one of the oldest forms of charitable housing in the UK. They were established to offer safe, secure homes to people who could not otherwise afford suitable accommodation.
Residents live independently in their own home and make a weekly maintenance contribution, which helps cover the cost of repairs, upkeep and management. Almshouses are not run for profit and are managed for the benefit of the community.
Eligibility is based on the charity’s governing document and charitable objectives.
Applicants should be in housing need and have limited financial resources.
Applicants should have a connection to King’s Lynn, such as living or working locally.
Applicants must meet any age requirements set by the charity.
Each application is considered carefully and fairly by the Trustees. Meeting the criteria does not guarantee an offer, as homes are allocated according to need and availability.
We aim to provide homes that offer security, dignity and peace of mind for our residents.
Contact us to ask about eligibility, availability or the application process.
