Evolve Housing + Support

Our story

Our organisation began as Croydon YMCA. It was first formed in 1861 and formally launched in 1879. We became South London YMCA when Croydon YMCA merged with the YMCA of Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark. We also merged with Earls Court YMCA in 2013.

We now work north and south of the Thames in the London Boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, and Lambeth, and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Our customers and staff include people of all ages, men and women, and people with a rich diversity of faiths and backgrounds and we have redefined our vision and values through everyone’s view of our organisation.

We are now Evolve Housing + Support.
