We are delighted to welcome St Saviour’s Court into Croydon Almshouses, marking an important new chapter for our charity and our residents.
The milestone was celebrated with a special event at St Saviour’s Court bringing residents, staff and trustees together to mark the occasion and look forward to the future. We were also delighted to welcome Deputy Mayor (Statutory) and Cabinet Member for Homes, to join the celebration.
While St Saviour’s Court and Elis David Almshouses each have their own history, identity and character, they are now part of Croydon Almshouses community.

‘Two almshouses. One community’ captures what we aim to achieve for our residents: increasing wellbeing, reducing loneliness and enabling people to manage their own lives.”
We are delighted to welcome St Saviour’s Court residents and look forward to this next step together as one community.”
