Place At My Table

We are a dynamic, user-led, and volunteer-led organisation providing community-based services. Operating in the Borough of Sutton, we specialise in providing a comprehensive range of programmes across training, health and wellbeing, and arts initiatives. Our focus is on empowering disadvantaged older people who face social exclusion and various barriers to inclusion.We support 300 disadvantaged older people each year. The majority of our users are aged 70+ from Caribbean, African, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese and Eastern European communities.  Our impact goes beyond mere numbers; it reaches into the fabric of lives marked by complexity. Many of our users grapple with a spectrum of challenges, including but not limited to poverty, mental health difficulties, chronic health conditions, and profound isolation. Our mission is to reduce poverty, dismantle barriers to inclusion, and amplify civic participation within the Borough of Sutton. Through our initiatives, we aim to create a positive impact by enabling disadvantaged people to overcome isolation and loneliness, leading to more productive, healthier, and stimulating lives.
