United St Saviour's Charity has supported the residents of Southwark since 1540. Today, we fund a broad range of community charities and provide sheltered accommodation for local retirees.
About us
Founded in 1540, United St Saviour’s combines its rich heritage with an innovative and forward-thinking outlook. We own and manage a modern almshouse in Surrey that provides independent living and an active social life for Southwark’s retirees. We also manage an eighteenth century almshouse in Southwark. In addition, we award £500,000 in grants each year to worthwhile local causes, funded through careful management of investments and property worth nearly £30 million.
