Belmont Connect

Belmont Connect is a place to socialise, find friendship and receive support in a friendly, relaxed and unstructured atmosphere.

We offer a freshly cooked meal  (which varies daily), at a very reasonable cost. A vegetarian option is always available. We also offer tea, coffee, squash and snacks.

On fridays we serve fish or sausages with chips. Lunches need to be ordered before 11:30am and can be placed over the telephone as well as in person.

Sunday's member-led session offers a set cooked breakfast which must be ordered before 1:00pm.

Activities

We offer a selection of free weekly activities, which are currently taking place online, including:

  • Coffee Mornings;
  • Art 4 Wellbeing;
  • Drama Group;
  • Mindfulness; and
  • Yoga.

Further information and booking details can be found on our Events page.

We provide a selection of board games such as bingo, scrabble, chess and draughts. For the more sporty we also have a snooker table and a table tennis table.

There is no obligation to participate in any activities, if you prefer to just sit quietly and take a moment for yourself, a variety of newspapers are available on a daily basis.

Our aim is to provide support for people within the London Borough of Sutton who suffer from mental distress. Connection is a key part in everything we do, it helps us to form relationships and bonds which means we can offer support to those who need it.

  • We work together with our members to provide activities and support that meets people's needs.
  • We hold community meetings where we encourage everyone to be involved in the way the we run the service.
  • We facilitate informative monthly "Signpost Sutton" sessions on various topics of interest which are also open to the wider community.

The Belmont Connect is currently open for activities and support appointments on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  For information on our current drop-in times and details of our activities, please see our timetable on the Events page.

Activities

While we are called a Crisis Café, we don't really offer food - although a cup of tea can be very helpful. And don't expect lots of activities - if you want yoga, art or mindfulness, we offer those in our daytime service at the Belmont Connect.
We are aware some people are having issues with the referral forms, if you are having problems, please email us at admin@smhf.org.uk or give us a call on 020 8770 0172.
