The Trustees of Bristocke Almshouses and Augusta Wilder Almshouses are considering a proposed merger of the two charities.
Why is a merger being considered?
Rising operating costs and increasing regulatory requirements have made it necessary for the Trustees to explore whether working together could help secure the long-term sustainability, effectiveness, and resilience of the almshouses.
A merger could enable the charities to:
- Share resources more efficiently
- Strengthen governance and compliance
- Improve long-term financial stability
- Continue to provide high-quality accommodation and support for residents
