Following the grand opening of ‘Hockley Cottages’ in September 2024, we are absolutely delighted to have been awarded the ‘Innovation for Living Award’ by the Almshouse Association, an industry body which sets best practice for 1600 independent almshouse charities throughout the UK.
This prestigious award recognises our work on the conversion of ‘Hockley Cottages’ – a project designed to enhance the lives of our residents and provide high quality, innovative almshouse accommodation.
On Thursday 19th June, three of our Trustees and our Clerk travelled to London for the Almshouse Associations annual Members Day, where they proudly accepted the award on behalf of the Trust.
We are over the moon to receive this recognition and incredibly proud of everyone who played a part in bringing this project to life.
