Welcome!

The Methodist Ministers' Housing Society.

Lord Archer Quote

The Methodist Ministers' Housing Society provides housing and any associated amenities for retired Methodist ministers, deacons and their widows or widowers of limited means upon terms appropriate to their means.

Begun in 1948 with the gift of a manor house in Derbyshire the Society now owns more than 960 properties throughout the UK. These have either been donated to the Society by individuals or purchased using funds from gifts received from individuals, churches and organisations.

Each year an average of 35 new retirees are helped by the Society in finding a home for their retirement and about 10 tenants move to more suitable accommodation.

Donations

Through the generous giving from Benevolent Funds, organisations and personal donations - including properties - the Society has been able to build up the housing stock across the British Isles. It is a partnership between the MMHS, donors of gifts and those ministers who upon retirement look to us for housing support.

Challenge

Hillary Armstrong QuoteThroughout the history of the Society there has been the constant challenge of purchasing and sustaining appropriate housing.

The present state of the housing market together with maintenance costs has increased the financial challenge. The need to provide housing has remained constant. Ministers with limited means continue to seek the help of the Society in the purchase of modest properties to meet their retirement needs. MMHS continues to meet the Challenge.
