Gloucester House Redevelopment
20 new flats will be built in what is now Gloucester House, the Charity's closed care home. Of these 20 flats, 6 will be fully wheelchair accessible, 2 will be two bedroom and 12 will be one bedroom flats. The new Gloucester House will also contain a large community room, a residents library and computer suite.
Work is due to start before 31 March 2010 and be completed around June 2011.
Eligibility
Hammersmith United Charities provides homes for people over 60 within the area of benefit who are living on a low income and who would otherwise find it difficult to fund suitable homes for themselves. A limited number of women over 55 may also qualify.
Grants
Trustees have the power to make grants to groups or individuals in the area of benefit to alleviate deprivation and hardship. As a result of the report commissioned by the Charity from the Centre for the Analysis of Social Exclusion at the London School of Economics and presented in 2009, the trustees now have access to detailed information about where the most deprived areas are and who needs help most.
Sunflower Project
Jackie Thompson, Hammersmith United Charities' award winning gardener recently ran a project getting John Betts' House residents and local children together to plant Sunflower Seeds. The children were invited back to see how their seeds were developing. Jackie hopes to run more projects like this with the hope that we bring the community together to work as one.
