Keeping Buckden Beautiful THE CIO OF JAMES SOUTH AND WILLIAM BURBERRY VACANCIES AT THE ALMSHOUSES The Charity manages the South ’ s Almshouses and Burberry Homes in Church Street, Buckden, consisting of fifteen self - contained flats for singles or couples, over 60 years of age, who live in Buckden or who have a close active family rela- tionship with residents of Buckden, and who have limited means. The Almshouse flats are unfurnished dwellings designed with the needs of older people in mind. The aim is to provide con- venient and comfortable accommodation in a setting that allows residents to come and go as they please. The Alms- house is the resident ’ s home for as long as s/he is able to live an independent life. Residents pay a modest weekly mainte- nance contribution and, in addition, may receive support from the statutory authorities. A Warden is employed to provide access to and liaison with these authorities. Having a Warden also means that support is provided regularly and can assist with summoning help if needed. We now have one vacancy If you are interested, please contact the Clerk for more information and an application form: Joe Greenway, 2 St Hughs Road, Buckden, PE19 5UB or joe.greenway@btinternet.com Applications close Friday 28th February 2025.
