Our Almshouses

We have 163 Almshouses across four estates in Derby that provide affordable accommodation for residents aged 60 or over, in need, hardship or distress who have lived in Derby for five years prior to application.

Our estates are varied and accommodate a variety of needs, allowing you to find a home which suits your lifestyle. But friendly visits from our resident support officer, a helpful on-hand maintenance and repairs team, and beautifully maintained gardens remain a constant across our estates. As does the sense of community we are so proud of, with purpose-built community centres on most estates, where you can enjoy a cup of tea with neighbours, take part in quizzes, or arrange trips out.
