ROBERT COCKS ALMSHOUSES TRUST – OLD BUCKENHAM
Registered Charity No. 206796

The Trustees give notice that they are able to consider immediate applications for a vacant unit at the Almshouses facing the Village Green.
We will consider applications as follows:

• Applicants must be aged 55 years or over
• Full disclosure of the Applicants financial situation. Information provided will be treated confidentially
• Occupation of a unit must be for a single person only
• No pets are permitted

Residents are required to pay a Weekly Maintenance Contribution, currently standing at £80 per week. This covers maintenance of the buildings and any refurbishment improvements the Trustees deem necessary, water rates, buildings insurance, a rebate against electric bills, a panic alarm system (where needed) and television licence for qualifying applicants.
Trustees will have absolute discretion as to whether to allocate a housing unit to any applicant, but will give priority to those considered to be in most need. In the event of more than one applicant having similar needs, preference will be given to an existing or previous resident of Old Buckenham.
An Application Pack can be requested by calling Mrs Christine North on 01953 860691. Assistance completing the form can be provided if needed.
