Founded in 1596 by Archbishop John Whitgift, The Whitgift Foundation provides education for the young and care for the elderly in the Borough of Croydon.

Today, over 400 years later, that commitment continues to grow. We run three outstanding independent schools which are supported by one of the largest bursary schemes in the country; we care for elderly people in Croydon in our three care homes under Whitgift Care; and we offer invaluable and impartial information, support and training to an estimated 34,000 carers in Croydon through our Carers’ Information Service. In 2013, in a joint initiative with Croydon Council, we opened the Carers Support Centre, a drop-in centre which offers a range of services for carers in Croydon.  In 2017 we opened the 1596 Club, a daily club for those elderly residents in Croydon still living in their own homes, offering them the opportunity of some social company and various fun and stimulating activities with our permanent residents.
