Welcome to the South Croydon
Day Centre for the Retired
A place you can call home in the heart of South Croydon
We believe in caring, sharing and companionship
South Croydon Day Centre for the retired is an independent Day Centre for the elderly of South Croydon and the surrounding area, providing them with company, a balanced hot meal at a very reasonable cost and a range of stimulating activities in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We have been offering our service for over 30 years. Our focus is on the personal needs of our visitors and we offer warmth and care to all who come regardless of their social, cultural and religious backgrounds.
The Centre is open on Mondays and Thursdays of each week from 10am to 4pm. In a typical week it hosts around 20 to 30 older people, some with a range of disabilities.

The operation and upkeep of the Centre cost a considerable amount of money. We rely, partly, on a small allocation from the local authority and, mostly, on funds from charitable organisations. We welcome and appreciate any donations, big and small, to enable us to continue our service.
