About Us

The Pinnock’s Charities, with origins stretching back to 1624 are primarily responsible for the provision of Almshouse accommodation at St. Thomas’s Almshouses in Gravesend. Stretching around the corner of Old Road West and Wrotham Road in Gravesend, Kent, this important local housing provision, for eligible applicants, is overseen by a body of trustees, who give their time voluntarily, with the day-to-day administration being carried out by the management team.
