About United St Saviour’s Charity

United St Saviour’s Charity supports the people and communities of Southwark. Through their grant-making programmes, they help communities tackle social need by investing in exciting projects that offer both proven and innovative ways of solving problems. They also provide exceptional housing for older people in their almshouses, creating strong and supportive communities in beautiful surroundings.

The fascinating history of United St Saviour’s is one of continual change and modernisation to meet the needs of the people of Southwark. Although nowadays they are a thoroughly modern and influential charity, they are very proud of their roots and background, which stretch as far back as 1541.

United St Saviour’s Charity’s Strategy

Since 2015 United St Saviour’s Charity has transformed every aspect of their work. This 10-year journey has included:

  • Moving from a focus on only the north of the borough to covering the whole of Southwark. Changing from a traditional grantmaker into a place-based community Investor.
  • Building a radically new model of sheltered social housing for older people in inner cities with our new award-winning Appleby Blue Almshouse, almost doubling our almhouse provision.
  • Doubling their endowment and tripling their income and numbers of staff.
  • Their profile, reputation and voice reaches across all levels in Southwark, and their influence now flows far beyond London and the UK.

The last 10 years of work has put them in a position to build upon their transformation, reputation and successes, to continue to meet their vision of a fair and equal Southwark over the next 10 years, and beyond.
