Our Complaints Process

From time to time an individual or organisation may feel it has not enjoyed the best possible service that Sufra NW London aims to provide. In such instances, it is important that when a complaint is made, the circumstances are investigated, and any corrective action is undertaken within reasonable time limits.

How to Make a Complaint

Initially, complaints should be raised informally by speaking to the member of staff or volunteer concerned. If this is not appropriate, the complaint should be raised with a member of the Management Team.

Any complaint should be made in writing to the Deputy Director of Sufra NW London via our Complaints form. When this is not appropriate, the complaint can be addressed to the Executive Director, or to the Chair of the Board of Trustees when necessary.
