About Morden College

Morden College is a Charity dedicated to supporting older people. Founded in 1695 by the pioneering merchant, Sir John Morden, the Charity has been at the forefront of enriching older people’s lives for more than 300 years. Today the Charity’s core purpose is to provide older people who are in need with a home for life, to support them as they grow older, via our Resident Services team, Domiciliary Care team and, if the need arises, residential nursing care. We are a strong community, committed to enabling the older people we support to have the highest quality of life, for the rest of their life, living independently for as long as possible.
