Built as a garden city in the 1920s and 1930s, the St Helier Estate in Sutton is now recognised as having high levels of deprivation, unemployment, single parents, elderly people and people with long-term disabling illness. 31% of all households with children are lone-parent households. Large parts of the parish are amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country. The centre of mission’s focus is to bring Christian hope and life to the community.

Rev Tracy Marlow has been appointed as Lead Evangelist and vicar of the parish and will focus on building community and Fresh Expressions. In February 2022, Hayley Humphries and Rachel Marlow were welcomed to the team as Pioneer Evangelists.
