Harrison Housing also provides a range of other services to Almshouse Charities and Small Housing Associations. These include:

• Almshouse Management: Over half our stock is managed on behalf of other Almshouses Charities throughout the London area –leaving trustees in control of the almshouses but leaving us to manage the day to day operations – thus improving services for residents
• Project Management: upgrading or redeveloping your almshouses? We provide project mangment services – for example we redeveloped an almshouse estate in Barnes to provide modern facilities and accommodation for 39 older people at a cost of £2.5million and in Camden we modernised a group of six almshouses. Currently we are about to redevelop a group of almshouses in Herne Hill at a cost of £1.2 million.
• Consultancy: we have assisted almshouses with their strategic planning processes by helping them to think through such issues as redevelopment opportunities and Weekly Maintenance Contribution Setting.
• Repairs and Building Management Services: Where Almshouse trustees wish to continue to manage the almshouses but would like help to ensure their buildings and repairs are of the highest order.
• Bidding for Funds to the Housing Corporation. Harrison Housing has Client Charter Status and in conjunction with the Almshouse Association is the conduit through which all Almshouse Charities bid for funds for building projects – an activity in which we have been highly successful.
• Mergers: In the last few years we have merged with a number of Almshouse Charities where trustees have decided the best interests of their residents are served in this way and wish to retain the Almshouse ethos.

We are always delighted to hear from other almshouse charities and seek to serve this unique community of organisations – so if you have a need for assistance and are in the London area please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss matters.
