Pocklington Lodge

In Touch hears from the residents of Pocklington Lodge, a housing centre currently run by The Thomas Pocklington Trust, about their fears over the Trust's plans to sell the site.

Pocklington Lodge is the last of the Thomas Pocklington Trust's housing complexes. The charity plans to sell the property, as a result of changes in their strategy and expertise over the years. In Touch visits Pocklington Lodge to hear from some of the residents, who fear what the sale of their complex could mean for the future of their homes. In Touch also visits Pocklington's headquarters to chat through reasons behind the decision with CEO, Charles Colquhoun.
