Newbury Almshouse Trust exists to serve the people of Newbury and the surrounding rural district by providing affordable housing.
We look after 42 residential units located at 5 sites in the heart of Newbury’s “City” area, providing accommodation to around 50 residents.
The origins of our Trust date back to the founding of St Bartholomew's Hospital in around the year 1215 meaning that the Trust and its forebears have been serving their community for over 800 years.
“Rooted in over 800 years of care and compassion, the Newbury Almshouse Trust continues to serve as a vital part of Newbury’s social fabric, shaping a future worthy of its remarkable past”
Graham Vanbergen, Chairman
