BUCKDEN PAROCHIAL CHARITIES
VACANCY AT THE BURBERRY HOMES
The Charity manages South’s Almshouses and Burberry
Homes in Church Street, Buckden consisting of fifteen
self-contained flats for singles or couples, usually over
60 years of age, who live in Buckden or who have a
close active family relationship with residents of Buck-
den.
The Almshouse flats are unfurnished dwellings, usually,
but not always, designed with the needs of older peo-
ple in mind. The aim is to provide convenient and com-
fortable accommodation in a setting that allows resi-
dents to come and go as they please. The Almshouse is
the resident’s home for as long as s/he is able to live an
independent life. Residents pay a modest weekly
maintenance contribution and, in addition, may receive
support from the statutory authorities. A Warden is
there to provide access to and liaison with these au-
thorities. Having a Warden also means that, in the
event of an emergency, help can be summoned quickly.
We now have one vacancy in the FIRST floor
of the Souths Almhouse
(the older of the two properties)
If you are interested, please contact the Clerk for more
information and an application form:
