WIVENHOE HOUSING TRUST

(Registered Charity No. 1090578)

TheWivenhoe Housing Trustwas established at the beginning of 2002 as a result of the merger of the two former almshouse charities, Jonathan Feedham Charity that managed the 7 almshouses in Vanessa Drive known as Jonathan Feedham Court, and Mary Ann Sanford Almshouse Charity, which managed the six almshouses in Rebow Road. 

The objectives of the Trustees of thishousingcharity are:

–  to manage the existing properties along the same lines as previously (see more below)

–  and to expand the charity in order to offer homes for moreWivenhoepeople to rent, and especially the young or those with families.

The Trust also maintains a small fund, known as the Jonathan Feedham Charity Fund, from which the Trustees are able to make disbursements to Wivenhoe people in financial distress. Such grants are generally for amounts up to several hundred pounds. Click here for more information.
