Our service is free and we won't pass your information on to anyone without your say so. If you live, work, study or care for someone in the London Borough of Sutton, we may be able to help you or point you in the right direction. 

Our service is accessible, informative, comprehensive, and structured in a way to ensure that you only need to share your story once, and we will ensure you are directed to the most appropriate person, at the right time!

Sometimes we may not feel ready to speak to someone else about our problems, and that is OK too! If you are not quite ready to talk about things, we have put a few important links below here that didn't 'fit' into the other categories for you to visit in your own time, just in case you want to have a read about things before you speak to someone. But don't forget, TfS are here to help you unravel a situation and point you in the right direction where we can. You are not alone in Sutton!
