South West LondonCare and support in Wandsworth
Person-centred care for adults across the London Borough of Wandsworth, the community we have served since 2017.
Care in Wandsworth
Copper Connect Care has supported adults across the London Borough of Wandsworth since 2017. It is the community we know best, and the place our service began.
We support adults with mental health conditions, learning disabilities and autism to live as independently as possible in Wandsworth, in their own home and out in the community they know. Care ranges from a single visit a day to round-the-clock supported living, and it is always shaped around the person, their routines and the people who matter to them.
Wandsworth is one of inner South West London’s largest and most varied boroughs, stretching from the riverside at Putney and Wandsworth Town to the busy high streets of Tooting and Balham, and out to Roehampton and Southfields. We support people across all of it.
Whether you are a family arranging care for a relative, a social worker looking for a reliable local provider, or a commissioner seeking a placement, we are close by and we understand the borough.

Local context
Arranging care and support in Wandsworth
Adult social care in Wandsworth is run by Wandsworth Council. Under the Care Act 2014, the council assesses adults who may have care and support needs and can arrange or fund care for people who are eligible, following a financial assessment.
People in Wandsworth come to care through several routes. Some are referred by the council, the NHS or a hospital discharge team, while others arrange and fund their own support. We work with all of these routes, and we are happy to talk things through before anything is committed.
Wandsworth is well connected, with the Northern line through Tooting and Balham, mainline stations at Clapham Junction, Putney and Earlsfield, and extensive bus links. Good transport matters for the people we support, helping them stay active, get to appointments and keep up with work, education and the things they enjoy.
The borough has a strong network of community organisations, day services and mental health support. We work alongside these, and with GPs and multidisciplinary teams, so that a person’s care joins up rather than sitting in isolation.
How to arrange care here
- Talk to us directly. Call or send a referral and we will discuss what someone needs and how soon we can help.
- If you think you or a relative may be eligible for council funded care, you can ask Wandsworth Council for a Care Act needs assessment.
- Social workers and commissioners can refer to us directly for supported living, respite, interim placements, or domiciliary care and outreach.
- We arrange an assessment with the person and the people who know them, then agree a personalised plan together.
- We introduce a consistent team and stay in touch, reviewing and adjusting support as needs change.
