The Southwark Community Support Alliance

The Southwark Community Support Alliance can help vulnerable residents with food, mental and physical wellbeing, financial support and help translate information.

About the Southwark Community Support Alliance 

The Southwark Community Support Alliance supports vulnerable people in our community. It helps people and families experiencing hardship with food, and promotes wellbeing and healthy living.

The Southwark Community Support Alliance is a joint initiative between:

  • Southwark Council
  • local charities
  • the local NHS
  • GP surgeries

It provides vulnerable residents with essential support. Once you've contacted the alliance, you may be referred to the voluntary and community sector or a partnership organisation that offers support, depending on your need. They will not share your information with other partners unless this is necessary and have got your consent.

How the Southwark Community Support Alliance can provide help

Let them know if you or someone else needs help to arrange essential supplies. This could be because of:

  • being unable to leave the house
  • being vulnerable
  • not knowing how to get help for someone you know
  • needing support around your mental and physical wellbeing
  • needing support with your financial situation
