Sanctuary in a Safe Environment: Plymouth Charity Trust’s Commitment to Secure and Caring Homes
Everyone is deserving of shelter and a secure place to call home. At Plymouth Charity Trust, we believe that creating a sanctuary in a safe environment is not just a goal, but a fundamental right. With a legacy spanning over 400 years, our commitment to the safety, wellbeing, and protection of our elderly residents remains unwavering. We provide not only a place to live but a nurturing environment where each person can thrive, free from judgement and worry.
A History of Sanctuary and Support
Plymouth Charity Trust has a rich history of offering sanctuary and support to those in need. Established four centuries ago, our mission has always been to provide shelter and care for the vulnerable members of our community. This long-standing tradition of service has shaped our approach to ensuring that our residents feel safe, valued, and respected.
Our heritage inspires us to uphold the values of compassion and care, guiding us in our efforts to create a safe and supportive environment. This enduring legacy is not just a reflection of our past, but a promise for the future. We are dedicated to maintaining this legacy, continually evolving to meet the changing needs of our residents while preserving the core principles that have defined us for generations.
Accessible and Affordable Homes
A key aspect of our mission is to provide accessible and affordable homes. We understand that financial constraints should never be a barrier to finding a safe and comfortable place to live. Our housing options are designed to be affordable, ensuring that more people can benefit from the security and stability of having a home.
Accessibility is also a critical factor. Many of our residents have mobility issues or other physical challenges that require special accommodations. Our homes are equipped with adapted facilities to meet these needs, including wheelchair ramps, handrails, and accessible bathrooms. These modifications ensure that all residents can navigate their living spaces safely and comfortably.
Prioritising Safety and Wellbeing
Safety is at the forefront of everything we do at Plymouth Charity Trust. Our facilities are designed and maintained to the highest standards to ensure a secure living environment. From robust security measures to regular maintenance checks, we take every precaution to protect our residents from harm.
But safety goes beyond physical security. Emotional and psychological wellbeing are equally important. We strive to create a supportive community where residents can build meaningful relationships and feel a sense of belonging. Our staff are on hand to offer support and assistance while respecting each resident’s autonomy and privacy.
A Caring and Non-Judgemental Environment
At Plymouth Charity Trust, we believe that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, ensuring that all residents feel valued and accepted. We provide a non-judgemental environment where individuals can express themselves freely and live without fear of discrimination or prejudice.
This caring atmosphere extends to our staff as well. We foster a workplace culture of respect and support, ensuring that our team members feel empowered to provide the best possible care. By nurturing a positive and inclusive environment, we create a community where both residents and staff can thrive.
Support When Needed, Privacy When Desired
One of the core principles of Plymouth Charity Trust is to offer support when it’s needed and privacy when it’s desired. We recognise that independence is crucial for maintaining a sense of dignity and self-worth. Our residents are encouraged to live independently, making their own choices and managing their daily lives as they see fit.
At the same time, we ensure that help is always available. A balance of support and independence allows residents to live with confidence, knowing that they can rely on us when they need it but also have the freedom to enjoy their privacy.
Looking to the Future
As we look to the future, Plymouth Charity Trust remains committed to our mission of providing sanctuary in a safe environment. We are continuously exploring ways to enhance our services and facilities, ensuring that we meet the evolving needs of our residents. Find out more about our ongoing Grenville House project here.

Sanctuary in a safe environment is more than just a promise at Plymouth Charity Trust—it is our way of life. With a focus on safety, wellbeing, and respect, we provide our residents with the stability and support they need to live independently and confidently. Our 400-year history of sanctuary and support inspires us to continue this legacy, ensuring that our future remains rooted in these timeless values. Together, we can create a community where everyone feels secure, valued, and at home.
