EVENTS & NEWS
Training courses
Our training takes place over three sessions. We ask that all volunteers attend all three sessions, but please do get in touch with any questions. The next training sessions will start on 7 November 2026.
If you are interested in becoming a befriender and want to find out more about the next training event, please contact Lily O'Connor (Volunteering Coordinator) via e-mail at volunteering@batterseabefriendingnetwork.org.uk
Summer Social
Every summer BBN holds some events to which everyone involved with BBN is invited. In August 2026 we held a summer picnic in Battersea Park. A group of befrienders and befriendees also went on a trip to the seaside and visited Kew Gardens, the Design museum and Leighton House in Kensington. Befrienders and befriendees also regularly go to the lovely Chelsea Physic Garden.
Annual General Meeting
The 2026 AGM will be held on Friday 4 December at All Saints Church, 100 Prince of Wales Drive, Battersea, London, SW11 4BD.
