Our two main sites each have a community room, guest bedroom with en-suite, a laundry, and a chapel. Many activities are organised by residents or the warden and most days something is planned from coffee mornings to fish-and-chips, knit and natter to whist. Special occasions also warrant activities such as Christmas lunch, carol singing and teas often organised by our wardens. Whilst there is a strong community feeling on each site, there is no pressure to join in with community facilities if a resident would rather not.

Residents occupy their flats as beneficiaries of the Trust and pay a Weekly Maintenance Cost (rent). The Weekly Maintenance Cost varies depending on the type of accommodation offered but is between £60 - £100 per week. In addition a weekly charge is made for heating, hot water and water supply. As a result, residents only have to pay their own bills for electricity and council tax. Our rents are at or below Fair Rent levels meaning that, for those residents eligible, Housing Benefit will pay or contribute to the rent." Show less
