Age UK accused of betrayal over plans

CHARITY SELLING ‘GIFTED’ APARTMENT BUILDING
THE future of retirement apartments in one of Devon's most expensive neighbourhoods is in doubt after charity owners confirmed the property might be sold.
Woodcot, a Grade II* listed building and gardens in Salcombe, is owned by national charity Age UK.
But the charity has told tenants there are no restrictions on selling the historic house and it is exploring the possibility of putting it on the market. Worried relatives have condemned Age UK for what they call a ‘betrayal’ of its mission.
One elderly resident said: “We face the prospect of being evicted so the house can be sold off at huge profit to developers for luxury apartments - it's just not right.”
Reports suggest at least two investors are eyeing up the land and are involved in talks. The charity says no decision has been made.
