Adults Services in Sutton

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 toni@suttoncvs.org.uk

Assist people with learning disabilities to move closer to the employment arena. People using the service will be able to access up to five days a week. The bespoke training programme will focus on developing independence and confidence skills, whilst developing more practical skills in our shop ‘Interestingly Different’. Primarily focusing on up-cycling old furniture, giving trainees the opportunity to work in it, or make products to sell. It is our job to find the skills in people and not shoe-horn people into roles that may not be appropriate.

We primarily work with people who have a learning disability, but if someone thinks the service is appropriate for them then come along and meet us.

Anyone can refer themselves to us, but it is usually done via social services. People usually use an individual budget or direct payment to fund their service with us, but we are flexible in how this can be managed.

Rape Crisis South London Service

Target group Location Contact/referral

Rape Crisis Centres have developed a specialised therapeutic model for working with survivors of sexual violence called the empowerment model.

We work with the empowerment model across all of our services. This is a holistic model which aims to facilitate a woman’s ability to take back choice and to develop trust in herself. At Rape Crisis South London, the women we support are identified as survivors of sexual violence. They have had a moment or many moments of victimisation at the hands of a perpetrator, but they have survived it and that is why they have decided to access the support of our specialist services.

The empowerment model gives survivors control of their own direction, facilitating her in finding her own power, and trusts her to make the right decisions for herself.

Location Contact/referral

Adults Services in Sutton

We provide confidential counselling to help individuals cope with the difficult concerns they are faced with in their lives.

People seek counselling for many different reasons, such as to help with problems in their relationships, or with feeling depressed, anxious or lonely, or perhaps angry. Others feel unable to cope with losses or bereavements, while others may have concerns about their identity or want to think through the life choices they have made relating for example to career.

Counselling can enable the client make sense of their situation and feelings. The client is helped to explore their feelings and thoughts in conversation with a professional counsellor who helps them think about their concerns and clarify them in an accepting and non-judgemental way.

The counsellor does not give advice, but works psychodynamically, linking present problems and concerns to the past, helping the client gain insight and perspective and to see their problems in a different way.

Clients access our services by making contact with us by calling us on 0208-661-7869 and making an appointment for an initial meeting. Although the client needs to contact us themselves, we encourage other organisations and agencies to point them in our direction as a source of help and support.

Sutton Vision Service

Sutton Vision supports the aspiration to create a world in which people experiencing sight loss or visual impairment flourish. Our services start from a recognition of the psychological impact and social isolation which may result from sight loss or visual impairment. The bulk of our funding for these services comes from the Greater London Fund for the Blind and the London Borough of Sutton. We focus on these core activities: • information and advice • advocacy provided by the Eye Clinic Liaison Officer offering support and information on eye conditions • advice about low vision equipment • community awareness training • activities and outings to prevent social isolation and promote health and wellbeing • technology workshops Our preventative services are delivered by outreach workers and staff based at the Sutton Vision resource centre, as well as a team of 40 volunteers engaged in a wide range of activities. We involve people who are blind or have a visual impairment in our work, particularly organising activities and outings in the local community and offering support through our telephone contact network.

Adults Services in Sutton

RESPECT is an intergenerational project delivered

by Volunteer Centre Sutton. The project provides a fantastic opportunity to bring together older and younger people with the aim of improving perceptions.

The ultimate aim of the project is to improve the perceptions of safety amongst Sutton residents and the project already has a strong history of doing just that.

The project has worked with a number of schools in the borough including The Limes, Greenshaw, Carshalton Girls and Drapers’ where young people can count time spent on the project towards their volunteering hours. Older people from sheltered housing accommodation come together with the younger people to work on a particular project usually over a 6 week period; during this time they explore each other’s perspectives and learn to respect each other’s views and ways of life.

We deliver a broad portfolio of services to enhance community well-being through voluntary action, encouraging and supporting everybody who lives in or visits the London Borough of Sutton to volunteer.

We run a number of our own volunteer projects, working with the most vulnerable members of society, from young offenders to the elderly housebound. These projects include a Befriending Plus programme which aims to prevent or reduce the need of social services through decrease of social isolation and loneliness by matching a volunteer befriender to a service user. We work with people in their homes, over the telephone, and out in the community through re-engagement with their local community.

Referrals are made through the completion of a referral form that is submitted to our Befriending Coordinators. An initial assessment is then carried out prior to matching with a volunteer and risk assessments take place where deemed necessary.

We have a list of referral criteria that can be supplied upon request. All service users will be lonely and socially isolated, and must be willing and able to engage in a meaningful relationship with a volunteer befriender.
