Show more "The Friendly Almshouses are a small community of 20 properties across 5 buildings based in Brixton southwest London. Our almshouses are available for single women over the age of 50 who find themselves in housing need, with limited financial means and are still able to live independently. A few of our ladies are still working.

All our properties are studios with large bedroom/lounge area with good sized separate kitchen and shower rooms. We have communal gardens out the back of our cottages. The flats are unfurnished but all flats have fridges and cooking facilities.

We provide general support to our residents with a warden or support worker onsite Monday to Friday. Out of hours we have a call facility and also alarm systems in all properties." Show less
