When family and friends cannot lend a hand, WEBCare (West End & Bisley Care & Good Neighbour Group) volunteers are happy to help with shopping, collecting prescriptions, a friendly phone call, or running errands, eg, posting something.

If you wear an NHS supplied hearing aid that requires basic maintenance or if you just need replacement batteries, pop along to Bisley Village Hall on the third Monday of the month between 10am and 12 noon and someone will be there to help you. The clinics are free and are run on a first come first served basis.
The Community Café will be open so why not treat yourself to a cuppa while you’re there.
The NHS audiology-trained volunteers at the clinic can provide a range of services including:
-
Checking the hearing aid is working properly
-
Re-tubing, ear mould cleaning and battery replacement
-
Checking the fitting of the hearing aid in the ear
-
Advice on maintenance and cleaning of the hearing aid
-
Advice and support on making the most of the hearing aid
-
Information and signposting to other services and useful equipment
Only ‘behind the ear’ hearing aids, issued by the local NHS trusts (Royal Surrey, Ashford and St. Peter’s and Frimley Park), can be supported at the clinic.
Many of the church congregation are part of the Teas on the Rec team who put on the hugely popular community gathering which takes place weekly throughout the summer on Thursday afternoons from 2-5pm at Bisley Recreation Ground.
Each week a different charity is supported and thousands of pounds are raised each year. Hundreds of people come along each week and enjoy time together over tea and home made cake. There is a wonderful buzz of activity and so many in the community are involved in baking, setting up, serving tea, running stalls and bringing everyone together.
The more the merrier, so do come and join in the fun!
