Sutton Centre for the Voluntary Sector
Sutton Centre for the Voluntary Sector is part of a national network of CVS’s
across the country, supported by the National Association for Voluntary and
Community Action (NAVCA). SCVS was established in 1965 as the voluntary
sector support organisation for the newly formed London Borough of
Sutton (LBS). SCVS has a long and successful track record of representing,
promoting, developing and supporting local voluntary and community
action to improve the lives of people in Sutton.
We currently have around 300 voluntary and community groups in
membership, which vary considerably in size and scope from smaller
volunteer led and run community groups to larger organisations employing
staff and providing services to significant numbers of local people.

resourced.

Introduction
W
elcome to the Adults’ Health, Wellbeing and Social Care Directory
of Services within Sutton’s Voluntary and Community Sector.
Services are listed alphabetically with a categorised index on pages
56 to 59 to help you find what you are looking for. Please be aware that some
services have referral criteria so it is always wise to check the website or
make contact via the phone number or email address provided.
Sutton’s Adult Health, Wellbeing and Social Care Voluntary and Community
Sector is made up of over 100 charities, community groups and social
enterprises that all exist not to make profit but to purely benefit the
community of Sutton. They are governed by people giving their time and
expertise (trustees and committee members) without being paid. Whilst
trustee/management committee boards are made up of unpaid experts,
across the 100+ organisations there are well over 500 paid Chief Executives,
Managers and Frontline Practitioners delivering a range of universal
through to specialist interventions to adults in Sutton. Alongside these
members of staff are a dedicated army of volunteers giving up their spare
time to help improve outcomes for local people.
Voluntary and community organisations secure a substantial amount
of external funding to provide much needed services for local people. In
addition to this, some organisations are commissioned by the London
Borough of Sutton. All of these services make a significant contribution
to the priorities and outcomes of a range of local strategies including the
Joint Health & Wellbeing Strategy and the Sutton Safeguarding Adults Board
priorities.
For further information or guidance on seeking services within, or working
in partnership with, the voluntary sector please contact Toni Walsh at Sutton
Centre for the Voluntary Sector on 020 8641 9542 or [email protected]
