WELCOME to the Home page of The Finchley Charities. The Charities were established in 1488 and further details of how they came to be formed and other significant historical events can be found by going on to the History tab of this website.

The Charities now administer almshouses at two sites in the ancient borough of Finchley. The sites are at Wilmot Close and Homefield Gardens. In addition to the above, The Charities also administer Pewterers Court which they took over from the Worshipful Company of Pewterers in 1991. These flats are not subject to the terms and conditions of the Charity Commissioner’s Scheme of 1997. Residents in these flats are assured tenants.

Details of our locations are shown on the Contact tab on this site. You can also email us from this tab.

The composition of accommodation is shown on this page for each almshouse site. Eligibility for residence and current availability is shown on the appropriate tab. If you are interested and can fulfil the eligibility requirements, you can download an application form from this tab.

The current Trustees and Officers can be found on the People tab.

The Trustees wish to encourage residents and their friends and relations to consider leaving a legacy to The Charities, which can be used as a memorial to their occupation here and would be put towards the benefit of existing and future residents.

If you are interested, gift aid forms may be obtained from the office at Wilmot Close.

We hope you enjoy exploring the site and look forward to your response.
