Welcome to Wyggestons

Wyggestons focuses on providing top quality affordable rented housing accommodation, support and care services for those of 60 years of age and older. Originally formed as an Almshouse Charity in 1513, Wyggestons has been successfully providing sheltered housing and housing related care services for vulnerable older people at its site on Hinckley Road since the 1960s. The Charity is registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide residential and respite care at our Agnes House care home.

 

On March 31st 2023 Wyggestons Hospital merged with it’s near neighbour Trinity Hospital CIO to become the Wyggestons and Trinity Almshouses.

The two charities combine 1,200 years of caring for their local community. They now operate as one charity, with a shared senior management team and Board of Trustees, enabling the continuation of their Charitable objectives of supporting older people in the city and county of Leicester.
