FESTIVE PERIOD EVENTS & OPENING TIMES

Please bear with us we have had a high volume of applications, and this coupled with staff sickness means we are still working through them all. We will be in touch as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience.

SMHF provides person centred non-clinical mental health support to adults living independently in Sutton. We are peer led,
and most of our staff have their own lived experience.  You don't need a formal referral to take advantage of our support services, wellbeing activities & events.
