Serving Croydon<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp” el_class=”heading-pink header”]When Archbishop John Whitgift created the foundation in 1596 his vision was to educate and care for the people of Croydon. Today, more than 425 years later the John Whitgift Foundation carries on his legacy of caring for Croydon. From supporting Croydon\u2019s carers to giving the older residents of Croydon a sense of community, comfort and joy in later life, we want to ensure everyone in our community is looked after with care and compassion. To do this we use the land and assets set aside by our founder to generate income which we put back into our community, this in turn funds the charitable work we carry out in John Whitgift\u2019s name.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1660141524106{margin-bottom: 70px !important;}”][vc_column css_animation=”none” width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” el_class=”heading-green”]<\/p>\n
