In the charity's own words
The trustee's objective is and remains the provision and maintenance of the almshouses for persons in need who are resident in the parish of Menheniot. The overwhelming majority of applicants for houses or apartments are retired persons. However, the trustees consider applications from younger single persons or from residents out with the parish to maintain continuity of occupation.
