About Us

Our primary goal is simple: to provide safe and secure accommodation designed for independent living for older adults. Our homes offer residents at St John’s a place of their own, with neighbours and support close by.

But housing is only part of our work.

For more than eight and a half centuries, we have adapted to the changing needs of our community. Today, alongside our homes, we run an activities programme for people aged 55+ to stay healthy and connected.

We also provide financial grants through our Crisis Programme for those who need support while experiencing a period of financial hardship.

OUR PURPOSE IS CLEAR IN ALL OUR AREAS OF CHARITABLE WORK: TO CHANGE LIVES. FOR GOOD.
