We maintain a close relationship with the local churches. Whilst our roots are in the Christian tradition (see below) we welcome all faiths and no faith equally.

St Andrew’s United Reform Church

The church is just a few hundred yards from York Road and about a mile from Mulgrave Road.

The Society was set up by the members of the congregation of St Andrew’s URC over 30 years ago. Many members have served on Abbeyfield Southern Oaks committees and contributed as volunteers. 

For the last few years, the Society has sponsored a Chaplain for Older people in partnership with St Andrew’s. Many of our past residents have chosen to join the congregation.

The Society is and has always been enormously appreciative of the continuing support and friendship of the St Andrew’s congregation.

St Paul’s Church, Sutton 

is very active in the local community with various activities and meetings including their Mid-Week Focus group, especially tailored to the needs of older people, which meets most Wednesdays for coffee, often with a visiting speaker and then continues over lunch. Their Spring 2019 programme can be found here.

Mulgrave Road and York Road are located within the London Borough of Sutton.

The Old House is in the Epsom and Ewell Borough Council area.

Purley Knoll is in the area of  Croydon Council

Some of our residents may be able to receive support from the local council through Housing Benefit and Supporting People arrangements.

Abbeyfield Southern Oaks has been accredited as a provider of sheltered accommodation for which Supporting People grants are available.
