Sutton Drop-in is for people with mental health problems, with any diagnosis or none, who live independently in the London Borough of Sutton. It is a place to socialise, find friendship and support in a friendly, relaxed and unstructured atmosphere. No formal referrals are required to become a member of Sutton Drop-in Club.

There is a trained and supportive staff team, including volunteers. Our activities co-ordinator facilitates art and craft activities (click the "Arts and Crafts" link for examples of some of our members work) plus occasional trips and walks. In addition, our Belmont Explorers group go on fortnightly trips to various places within public transport travelling or walking distance. There are also games available in the drop-in, such as: bingo, pool, snooker, table tennis, scrabble, chess and draughts. Daily newspapers are also available for all members. There is no obligation to participate in any activities - members are free to do as much or as little as they like.

We are open on Mondays 10.30am to 3pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 3pm. On these days a freshly cooked meal is available at a very reasonable cost. Tea, coffee, squash and hot chocolate are also available. On Fridays we run "Coffee Shop" from 10.30am to 2.30pm. We serve a cooked breakfast until midday, plus sandwiches and jacket potatoes for lunch.
