Independent living homes for older women in housing need
We provide homes for older women in housing need, and we support them to live independently. We reduce loneliness and isolation by fostering a supportive community spirit.
Our history dates back to 1855, when the founder, Miss Elizabeth Sheppard, inherited a sum of money that she chose to use for the benefit of others. In that same year she formed The Annuitants’ Homes, which many years later was renamed The Sheppard Trust.
