Choosing a retirement property is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make, so it matters what happens if your circumstances change. At St Monica Trust, we offer lease options with a guaranteed buy back, meaning that when a resident is ready to leave, we purchase the property from them directly. No hidden costs and no stress or worry of selling on the open market.

It is important to bear in mind that not all retirement villages operate in the same way. As a charity founded in Bristol over 100 years ago, we provide residents and their families clarity and support at every stage - not just when they move in.

• Guaranteed buy-back option
• Transparent surrender fee
• No hassle of lengthy selling process on the open market

🎭 Creativity was in full swing at this morning’s Resident Art Group! 🎨

Our very talented residents transformed simple materials into a wonderful collection of colourful and expressive masks - each one full of personality, imagination, and fun. From bold patterns to playful designs, every mask tells its own story.

A big thank you to everyone who joined in and shared their creativity and laughter with the group. It’s always special to see our community come together to create, connect, and enjoy something new.
