SUF is Disability Confident Committed organisation dedicated to supporting people living with disabilities. We strive to enhance understanding of disability in all our work, removing barriers faced by disabled people and those with long-term health conditions, and ensuring that they have the opportunities to reach their potential and achieve their aspirations.

SUF has signed the ‘Charter for Employers Positive about Mental Health’. We are committed to creating a supportive and open culture, where colleagues feel able to talk about mental health confidently. We provide proactive support to staff experiencing mental ill health.

We are delighted to announce that Suffolk User Forum is now an accredited Living Wage Employer. This means that every member of staff working for SUF will earn a real Living Wage.

Over 9000 organisations, including SUF, voluntarily pay the real Living Wage because we believe a hard day’s work deserves fair pay. You can find other organisations that pay the Living Wage here: https://www.livingwage.org.uk/accredited-living-wage-employers

SUF is a member of the national charity Equally Well UK. We are committed to seeing people as a whole and believe that people must always be seen as more than mental health labels. Physical and mental health must be given equal respect and attention.
