The Quaker Housing Trust (QHT) has awarded grants to two projects providing accommodation for older people.

Roddam Dene House in Wooler, Northumberland, will provide four flats for the over-fifty-fives. The former manse has been converted into homes that will allow residents to continue to live independently, close to shops and services. QHT awarded the Glendale Gateway Trust project a £20,000 grant and provided a £70,000 interest-free loan.
