New research published by The Almshouse Association on the impact of almshouse charities in the pandemic

This report, 'Understanding the impact of almshouse charities in the pandemic', is based on an extensive series of interviews and seeks to understand the impact of the pandemic on almshouse charities and their residents and examine the impact almshouse charities made since the first lockdown.

The research, undertaken by The Smith Institute, places the spotlight on the positive contribution the sector made during the public health crisis and extended periods of social isolation; identifies the lessons that can be drawn from the past two years; and highlights challenges the sector faces going forward.
