Our vision

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
