Bishop Creighton House is now The Creighton Centre

As from June 2023, Bishop Creighton House is now The Creighton Centre. 

The new name is a better reflection of who we are and what we do. Bishop Creighton House was established as a Christian charity in 1908, but we have been secular and inclusive in our approach for many years. For some decades after the charity was set up, volunteer 'settlers' lived at Bishop Creighton House, but that is no longer the case and we were often mistaken for a hostel or a care home. 

We have retained the name Creighton for continuity and to celebrate Louise Creighton, the Bishop's widow, who was the driving force behind the establishment of Bishop Creighton House. The Creighton Centre is the operating name. Bishop Creighton House Settlement remains the legal name of the charity and the company.
