Emma Halford, CEO of Richmond Charites will talk to us about the history of the alms houses in our area and how they function. The work of The Richmond Charities, housing and supporting elderly people in housing need in our borough, goes back over 400 years. The first of Richmond’s alms-houses were Queen Elizabeth’s Alms-houses, founded in 1600. From then on, over the centuries, wealthy benefactors continued to endow land and property for the building of alms-houses and The Richmond Charities now owns and runs 150 alms-houses spread over 13 estates in Richmond, Twickenham and Mortlake.
