THE LIVERSAGE TRUST
An Almshouse Charity, founded in 1529 for the relief of poverty, became a CIO April 2014. Area of operation is limited to Derby. Focus is assisting older people primarily through direct provision of housing. Small grants to relieve need are also available to a broader age range. We manage four almshouse estates for people aged 60 or over, and run a 40-bed Residential Home for frail older people.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity is financially stable and self-sufficient, holding £9.8m in investments to support long-term stability and future development ambitions. The trustees report that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, with no material uncertainties identified regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
