What is this service?
BELMONT CONNECT
The Belmont Connect offers a place to socialise, find friendship and receive support in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Our "drop-in" is open several days per week (see our website for current timetable with days and times).
Here you can find support, friendship, snacks and unlimited refills of tea and coffee, plus we offer lunch on a Friday.
We run activities themed around the 5 ways to wellbeing, including line dancing, yoga, mindfulness, art and drama & also offer courses and talks, along with peer led activities including outings, meals and our walking group. If you need computer access, you can book an hour in our IT hub. We also run a monthly OCD support group.
Our support workers can offer a listening ear and help with small issues that may be worrying you.
If you need more specialist help or advice, for example with benefits or housing, debt or employment issues, appointments are available on Thursday mornings, in partnership with Citizens Advice Sutton, and we currently have funding to offer housing support appointments to help with accommodation issues.
We are pleased to announce that we have funding to open on Sundays from 11-.30 – 4.30 for 6 months to August 2023, offering a meal and support.

- Additional information:
We run a new members monring on the first Friday of the month. This is chance for people who haven't used the service before to have a look round, meet the staff and generally find out what we can offer, without the usual activities going on. People find this helps them to find their feet and get to know a few freindly faces. You can just turn up on the day, but if you prefer you can get more information and let us know you are coming by calling 020 8770 0172, or booking a spot on our website.
