Lawrence Atwell's Charity (Skinners' Company)

The charity funds the provision of sheltered housing for older people in the London Borough of Hounslow. Its accommodation at Percy Bilton Court consists of flats suitable for couples or single people, offering a more secure and manageable living environment for those in genuine need of sheltered accommodation. The work is rooted locally: the charity gives priority to applicants with a local connection, ensuring that homes support residents within the community. The charity provides the housing itself rather than funding other activities, making this a capital form of support focused on homes for people in need of sheltered accommodation.

The flats at Percy Bilton Court are suitable for couples or single people. Applications are welcomed from older individuals who need sheltered accommodation and have a genuine housing need. The charity gives priority to applicants with a local connection to the London Borough of Hounslow, so local residents are most likely to be helped. It may not be able to help individuals with high levels of savings and/or property owners, as support is directed towards those in greatest need.

The charity does not provide financial grants, whether to individuals or organisations. Its support is limited to the sheltered housing accommodation at Percy Bilton Court. It is unlikely to help those with significant savings or who own property, as priority is given to applicants with genuine housing need.

The charity offers its housing support directly rather than awarding grants. It provides long-term accommodation at Percy Bilton Court, with priority for applicants who live locally. For further information about how to apply, interested individuals are invited to contact the Almshouse Administrator.
