At the heart of who we are, is our belief and commitment to 'community'. Our Croydon Almshouses community is made up of our residents, staff, and trustees. We are also part of our local Waddon community, and the wider Croydon community. In some ways, most importantly, we recognise that we all belong to several communities which connect us with our backgrounds, our interests, our challenges.
