The Cordwainers own almshouses in Shorne in Kent, which are occupied by members of the local community who are in need.

Hayes Terrace is a row of five Victorian terraced cottages which were built in 1882 and left to the Company in 1884 as part of ‘Leveridge’s Gift’. Under the bequest they were to house poor widows or unmarried women, who were members of the Church of England and not less than 60 years of age. In 1899, the Company received the additional ‘William Leveridge’s Gift’ for the upkeep of the cottages and the support of the residents. The criteria for the almshouse residents are still followed to the present day, and the Company continues to maintain the cottages and support the residents.
