Sutton Befrienders

Sutton Befrienders aims to reduce social isolation and loneliness for people living in the London Borough of Sutton. We do this through matching checked and trained volunteers with elderly adults who socially isolated and lonely, or have care and mobility needs, learning difficulties or disabilities. As well as providing one to one support, we run a wide range of suitable group activities tailored to their needs.

We offer both short term and long term one-to-one support, as well as an extensive activity programme including walking groups and social activities.
