Vision and Mission Statement
At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves a safe
and pleasant place to call home.
Our almshouse charity exists to offer more than just housing – we create communities where older people can live with independence, find friendship and have peace of mind. In a time when loneliness, isolation and housing insecurity is increasing among the elderly, our mission is to stand as a beacon of stability and compassion.
We provide well-maintained, low-cost homes tailored to the needs of older Residents who might otherwise struggle to find suitable accommodation. Our support goes beyond bricks and mortar — we foster a warm, inclusive atmosphere where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
The Buchanan Housing Charity offers well-maintained, low-cost homes for young families and single parents of limited means in Salisbury.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, sustainability and value for money.
Guided by a long-standing tradition of charitable service, we work to:
- Ensure affordable, quality homes for people with limited financial resources
- Offer emotional and practical support that respects independence and dignity
- Create a vibrant community that combats loneliness and promotes wellbeing
- Preserve the historic role of almshouses while responding to modern needs
