The Billingshurst Neighbourhood Wardens have been a welcome sight around the parish providing reassurance to residents of all ages and dealing with local issues ever since the Warden scheme commenced during the summer of 2018.

The Billingshurst Wardens have previously worked on other schemes locally and are now working on some exciting ideas and plans for Billingshurst!

The Wardens often arrange sessions for our younger residents at weekends or during half terms and school holidays - more info on this will be advertised at the time on the Newsfeed section of this website or on our social media pages.  The Family Activity Afternoons are being held each Friday across the summer holidays from 24th July through to and including Friday 28th August; more details below.



The Wardens, along with WBC Cares UK, host the Youth Boxing Programme on Wednesday afternoons at the Old Dance Studio, Weald School, Station Road, Billingshurst between 3.15pm - 4.15pm.  Young people between the ages of 11 & 17 are welcome to just turn up and try it out!  These really popular sessions are fully funded by Billingshurst Parish Council and there have been some fabulous success stories, including local participant James White (pictured below).  To read all about James' journey, click the link HERE

Louisa & Ross frequently attend local community events such as the Christmas Fayre, Summer Activity Day, Wealdfest and Remembrance Sunday

For our older residents, the Wardens host the regular Coffee Mornings at the Billingshurst Centre on Fridays, between 10am & 12 noon and frequently attend meetings or activities of local groups.
