Welcome to Glover’s Trust Almshouses
We offer comfortable, affordable sheltered housing for people aged 60 and over, in a friendly and supportive community.
At Glover’s Trust, you can enjoy the best of both worlds — the reassurance of living in a welcoming neighbourhood, with the independence and privacy of your own home. You’re free to come and go as you wish, while knowing support and companionship are close by if you need them.
If you’re interested, you can apply for one of our current vacancies or ask to be added to our waiting list.

I have recently moved into my cottage and I feel very fortunate to live in such a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment.
Nigel, resident
Since 1932, the close community of cottages at Glover’s hasbeen a peaceful haven, tucked away just off Chester Road in Sutton Coldfield.
Built in the charming Arts and Crafts style inspired by the countryside, the cottages have been lovingly lived in and cared for ever since. In 2017, they were thoughtfully refurbished to improve comfort and modern living, while carefully preserving their special historic character.
Step through the entrance gates of the front building and you’ll find a welcoming setting of gently terraced homes, opening out onto landscaped lawns for residents to relax and enjoy.
