SCC is the leading specialist organisation providing befriending services for older people in the community in central and north Southwark.

SCC has 100 volunteers and 200 befriending clients.

SCC is working in collaboration with another specialist befriending organisation, Dulwich Helpline (DHL), which works in the south of the borough. As part of this collaboration and in order to save costs, SCC will be moving its office base to share with DHL from mid October.

SCC wishes to emphasise that the main focus of its work remains the centre and north of the borough where we are seeking to use our specialist knowledge and experience to remain a key player in the provision of services to isolated older people living in the community.
