Sutton Giving is a local giving platform that is a key part of the work of Community Action Sutton. Sutton Giving’s aim is to improve lives in Sutton and build a brighter future for our borough and we think that launching this fund on behalf of Sutton Giving is more than appropriate at this time.

“Sutton Giving is therefore working in partnership with Community Action Sutton, Sutton CCG, Sutton Council to work with the local voluntary and community sector to understand the challenges that you are facing at this time in providing ongoing support to the people you work with in the light of COVID-19,” said a spokesperson.

The key aim of the fund is
