We partnered with Grow London to stage an event detailing how local businesses can access free help, support and advice.

We took a stall at The Surbiton Festival, and with the help of an amazing team of SBC members, had dozens of conversations with local business owners, leading to many new faces at our meetups.

SBC took a place on the committee of The Surbiton Town Centre Partnership, allowing us to directly influence improvements to Surbiton town centre.
