WServices 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.
