About our charity
Sussex Housing & Care (SHC) is a charitable Housing Association providing quality, affordable housing and care services for older people in Sussex. <P> SHC was formed in 1946 by a group of local residents working in senior positions in health and housing - Major E F Holland, Mr Ronald Simson and Dr Ashleigh Glegg. The supporters and employees of SHC still work towards the association's initial aim - to ensure 'in old age there should be security, and no-one in their latter years should find themselves stranded, with nowhere to go , and no-one to befriend them.' <P> From these beginnings, SHC has extended and now offers a range of homes and care for over 800 residents in a variety of locations in Sussex. This has been achieved through the combined efforts of generous benefactors and its committed staff and volunteers over the years. <P> This charitable status means that SHC relies on voluntary donations and grants to provide extra welfare services to its residents that they would otherwise not receive. In addition, shortfalls in funding from local authorities for residential and nursing care are also met by SHC through its welfare fund. Your donation will help us continue this work, and help ensure we can provide the care and support services that older people in Sussex deserve.
