Our

Mission & Values

The objects of the Charity are:

• The provision of housing accommodation for housing beneficiaries.
• Charitable purposes for the benefit of residents as the trustees decide
• the relief of beneficiaries who are in need or hardship or distress.

The United Charities of St. Leonard Shoreditch are an amalgamation of 50 separate charities that, from the 16th through to the 21st Century, have striven to support the people of Shoreditch. 

Work was done in the fields of Education and Health, but above all to provide Housing for the needy and in one way of another, the Trustees have provided Almshouses for over 400 years. 

Today's Trustees aspire to adhere to certain basic principles, assistance on the basis of need, equal opportunities and freedom of conscience, democratic, responsible and responsive conduct of our work and commitment to our residents.
