City, University of London

We are delighted to invite you to join us for the launch of The Almshouse Longevity Project Report, sponsored by The Dunhill Medical Trust, The Justham Trust and The Almshouse Association.

It goes on to examine the factors that might make this the case. The results from this study make a valuable contribution to the evidence base around the social determinants of a healthier older age and the role played by housing in this.Please join us for this exclusive event.
