There are two Archdeaconries; Croydon and Reigate. The Area Office is temporarily located close to South Croydon Station. The office is staffed by the Bishop, two Archdeacons and two PAs. The Croydon area covers the boroughs of Croydon, Sutton, and the district of Tandridge, the vast majority of Reigate and Banstead district, and parts of the borough of Bromley and Mole Valley District. It stretches from Upper Norwood in the north to Gatwick in the south, and from West Wickham in the east to Worcester Park in the west. It is geographically the largest of the three Areas – two-thirds of Southwark’s total area. It extends from areas of significant ethnic and social diversity in the north of Croydon and Sutton, through the rapidly evolving landscape of suburbia and into the countryside, country towns and urban overspill of Surrey. Croydon includes some of the most prosperous places in the country and places of real poverty and hardship. Neither of these are always where one might expect to find them: the food bank in Redhill meets an urgent need, while parts of Upper Norwood are becoming rapidly more prosperous. The Area has a strong link with the Diocese of Central Zimbabwe and many parishes commit to home and overseas mission projects over and above their financial commitment to the Diocese, which is strong. Mutual visits are regular, and there is a strong link committee with members in both Dioceses working together to ensure that this is a relationship of mutual flourishing in prayer and shared mission, and not a one-way street of financial contributions.
