Full Description of Organisation
Partis College is a local Bath charity providing affordable Almshouse accommodation
to women since 1825.
The college was founded by Mrs Ann Partis, a progressive social activist, who set up Partis College to help gentlewomen who found themselves challenging personal circumstances.
Although the social landscape has changed since the 1800s, the need for support has not. At Partis we continue to offer almshouses to those who have faced financial difficulty, often through bereavement, divorce or retirement and our ethos is as relevant now, as it was two hundred years ago.
Nowadays Partis is home to women of various backgrounds and circumstances, who also share many things in common; a need for somewhere suitable and affordable to live independently, a mature age and Christian values.
About Us
Partis College is managed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of a group of local volunteers with a range of specialist skills. The Partis trustees’ purpose is to manage its endowed wealth efficiently and effectively to ensure that the legacy of our founder Anne is protected in perpetuity.
The Board is supported by a full time Office Manager, responsible for the College’s finance, administration, and acts as Secretary to the Board. There is also a of part time Residents Support Officer, who provides advice, guidance, and advocacy for the residents. Both the Office Manager and the Residents Support Officer are available on site during the week.
A Chaplain provides weekly church services in the Grade II Listed Chapel (an Italian Romanesque design, built by Sir George Gilbert Scott) and there are activities and social events in our communal hub (Violet Wills Wing) throughout the year. By fulfilling this purpose, we can both today and tomorrow support our residents to live full and independent lives, finding friendships, wellbeing, safety, and security
within our community.
