The Whiteley Homes Trust believes everyone has the right to live well in a good home as they age, regardless of their financial means.

We own and manage Whiteley Village near Walton on Thames, where we have been supporting older people in need for over a century. Our founder, William Whiteley, was a retail entrepreneur, who died in 1907. On the reading of the will it was found that he had bequeathed £1,000,000 for the purchase of land on which to build and run a community of almshouses.

Our charity offers housing with care support to around 400 older people, in over 250 listed almshouse cottages and 50 extra-care flats in Whiteley Village.

We have many projects and activities that enhance the wellbeing of residents, which we are unable to provide without the generous support of personal and corporate donations, grants and trusts.
