We support people in Croydon who are negatively impacted by poverty, to live more independently and with dignity.

Rooted in over 600 years of heritage, we draw on our experience to provide practical support to people effected by poverty.

Celebrating National Day of Charity 💜

To mark National Day of Charity, we’re celebrating the charities, community organisations, volunteers and staff making a difference across Croydon.

One way Croydon Almshouses contributes to this incredible work is through our Grant Fund, investing in Croydon’s voluntary, community and faith sector.

Our Grant Fund champions dignity and independence, investing in organisations whose work increases wellbeing, reduces loneliness and enables people to manage their own lives.

A huge thank you everyone working to make a difference across Croydon communities.

Could your organisation be next?

Creating thriving communities for people in Croydon starts with making every asset count.

Following Phase 1 of our 'Do More; Do Better' mid-strategy review, we’ve taken steps to ensure our assets and investments are delivering the greatest possible impact.

Alongside this, we’ve updated our investment approach to help secure long-term sustainability and continue meeting the needs of our beneficiaries - now and in the future.

In this new year, we continue to be in the privileged position of being able to invest directly in Croydon.

In 2025, our Croydon Almshouses Grant Fund (formerly Croydon Relief in Need Grant Fund) awarded £268,582 in grants to local community groups and individuals, supporting people through challenges and strengthening the voluntary, community and faith sector which delivers much needed support in Croydon.

Every grant awarded reflects our commitment to creating thriving communities where everyone can live with dignity and independence, and links to our Theory of Change outcomes:

➡️ Increased wellbeing

➡️ Reduced loneliness

➡️ Increased ability for people to manage their own lives

We are proud to be a grant funder in Croydon and we are looking forward to continuing this work and celebrating even more positive change across the borough in 2026.

As we look back on 2025, we’re incredibly proud of the positive impact we’ve made, not only across Croydon, but in our almshouse community too.

Acuity Research & Practice Ltd conduct our independent bi-annual Resident Satisfaction Survey which is a valued and important tool for us as a learning organisation. The feedback we receive enables us to continually adapt to the changing needs of our residents, making a positive impact for our community. It guides our work, shapes our priorities and keeps us focused on delivering support where it matters most.

⭐ We’re pleased to say that we consistently outperform national benchmarks! ⭐

Take a look at our short video to find out what our residents think about us.

A special thank you to our residents who took the time to share their views, three of whom were chosen at random and received a £50 voucher as a thank you.
