WOKINGHAM UNITED CHARITIES origins date back to 1451. We have two separate but linked roles :- Operating a substantial relief in need endowed fund to help people resident in Wokingham Borough who are in poverty, hardship or distress. Running the Wokingham Almshouses at Westende. The Almshouses consist of 27 modern, individual and well-appointed flats (with separate living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen) at Westende which is on the London Road in Wokingham opposite the Parish Church. The Almshouses are semi sheltered accommodation for older people and residents are charged a maintenance contribution for their flats which is significantly cheaper than the market price for similar accommodation in the Wokingham area. Wokingham United Charities is now a Company limited by Guarantee (Co. No. 5278018) and is registered at the Charities Commission under No 1107171.
