Overview & Agenda

Building on the findings and recommendations of the Older People’s Housing Taskforce, this session will delve into the recent Almshouse Association Research Workshop, which examined almshouses as ‘anchor institutions’ and their enduring role over centuries. We’ll also look ahead, discussing how almshouses can continue to thrive as a sustainable, affordable housing solution for generations to come.

Additionally, we'll feature presentations on innovative almshouse developments in Cambridgeshire, showcasing contemporary designs and the critical success factors that benefit both residents and local communities.

A full agenda to follow.
