Third year students Georgie Sweet and Jake Patterson showcased their work in-front of pupils at Hollyfield School in Surbiton.

Sutton has the 7th oldest population of all London boroughs, and the 70 to 74 age group is projected to be the fastest growing

With this in mind, a new care hub is opening in the St Nicholas Shopping Centre on Wednesday.

 Sutton Care Works will help showcase the different roles, techniques and skills needed for a job in social care.
