About Municipal Charities of Stratford-upon-Avon

The Municipal Charities of Stratford-upon-Avon charity has a long and detailed history of helping local people with housing via a number of charities set up by well-meaning bodies, philanthropic individuals and families connected with Stratford-upon-Avon. Over the years, a number of various charities have amalgamated resulting in the existing five separate almshouse charities. These comprise Guild Cottages; Shakespeare Court, Mary Newlands, John Roberts and St Joseph’s Homestead. Our Mission is to provide low-cost, self-contained accommodation for older people of limited financial means. In all we offer accommodation to 47 residents. Our philosophy is to encourage independent living. We also offer support to the residents through our two part time scheme managers. Our scheme managers regularly visit the residents in their own homes. We also run three or four outings each year for residents. We offer the residents support with benefit claims but also encourage their families to be involved.
