Community Connections
In 2013, we succeeded with our bid to become one of the three main providers for Community Connections, offering seamless first-class community mental health services to adults living in Surrey. Each provider covers a different area of Surrey but we work in partnership to support all Surrey residents aged 16+.
Mary Frances Trust is the Lead Provider for Community Connections’ mental health services for Surrey Downs – which include Mole Valley, Epsom & Ewell, Banstead and East Elmbridge.
To see what we offer as part of our Community Connections service, please visit our Activities, Courses and Group page or view our calendar.

What does Community Connections mean?
One of the common consequences of mental health issues is social isolation. Sometimes this may result from the mental health problem itself. Reasons may also include low income, lack of self-confidence, etc.
A further major problem is the stigma, or negative attitudes that society holds towards people who use mental health services. These can affect the relationships with others, including employers, undermine self-confidence and prevent people from seeking the help they need.
We’re committed to supporting people with mental health issues to become fully active members of their communities, with access to all the opportunities this offers.
