Belmont Connect

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

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 "drop-in" remains closed for now, but if you are in need of support, we are open for appointments only Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10:30 am to 2:30pm. For more information on the types of appointments we are currently offering, or to make a booking go to our Appointments page.

All of our events are currently taking place online on Zoom, as restrictions lift we are hopeful that we can gradually return to in-person events. For more information on our current events, or to make a booking go to our Events page.

We have a team of trained and supportive staff and volunteers.

No formal referrals are required to become a member. For further information please get in touch.

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.
