Finchley Charities

If you have lived in the Borough of Barnet for at least five years of your life, they can provide homes for individuals and couples aged over 55, in need of sheltered housing, and able to live independently. They manage 172 flats over three sites consisting of a variety of studio, single and double-bed dwellings. Their housing schemes are supported by five Sheltered Housing Officers (SHOs) with one living at each site.
They are proud to offer the residents a number of community activities and events focusing on health and wellbeing, as well as laundry facilities, use of computers and wifi, communal landscaped gardens and a 24-hour community alarm system in all properties to assist residents in an emergency. Personal pendants and additional Telecare are also available.
