Are you able to provide services to people who don't live in Southwark? Expand Our befriending and information and support services are only available to people who live in Southwark. If you would like to attend one of our groups and you live outside Southwark’s boundaries, please contact us to enquire further. However, priority will be given to Southwark residents.
Do you provide transport to your groups? Expand Our transport offering is very limited and is available only in exceptional circumstances. We encourage you to travel independently to our groups and we can assist with applications for Dial a Ride and Taxicard to facilitate this.
Do you provide volunteers to do weekly shopping? Expand No, but our Information and Support Service can point you in the direction of local shopping services.
Do you organise parties? Expand Yes, we usually run a party in the spring and in December with food and entertainment. Sometimes other organisations offer meals or parties for us which we can arrange to take people to.
How can I find out what activities you're organising in the near future? Expand We produce a newsletter 5 times a year which we send to our service users. Details of upcoming parties and other events are included in this newsletter and attendance is usually on a first come, first served basis. The newsletter can also be viewed on our website.
