Residents, known as Collegians, must be retired, local to Southwark (or very close by) and on limited incomes with low capital and/ or savings. They must be able to live independently, with social services support if necessary.
Please note: As of November 2008, the Charity will be allowing residents of Lambeth, Greenwich, and Croydon to apply for flats. Candidates from these areas must be over 60, on low incomes with little capital.
Collegians are required to pay a weekly maintenance contribution rather than rent. It is based on affordable rent costs and in many cases will be covered by housing benefit.
If you have any questions or need assistance to fill out the form please contact Ellen Mockler on 0208 660 1223.
The communal lounge is a place for residents to come together outside their flats, to chat, have tea or coffee and generally watch the world go by. It also plays host to a range of parties, coffee mornings and get-togethers that St Saviour’s residents organise amongst themselves. There is also a full 
range of outdoor furniture that residents use on fine days in the pretty garden and patio areas.
An extensive range of groceries and other provisions is available at the nearby Tesco Hyperstore (15 mins to walk or a short bus ride). Meanwhile the local Purley High Street also provides a range of shopping, including Boots, Laura Ashley, and other small retailers. For a full range of High Street shops and department stores residents go to Croydon, just three miles away.
