Welcome to Bell House

Bell House is a volunteer led charity that provides creative learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. Our vision is to offer an opportunity to gather for learning, enjoyment and friendship in a special place. We are: Collaborative, Curious, Generous, Inclusive, Kind, Open, Reliable.


Happy New Year! 2024 could be your year for learning a new skill, meeting new friends and enjoying the peaceful space at Bell House. Why not come along to one of our workshops or talks?

ART, SKILLS & CRAFTS: try out something new this Spring: create an illuminated letter, bookbinding, drawing, and pottery. We still have spaces left on our Throwing Big workshop taught by Kyra Stratoudaki.

BELL HEALTH: we have joined up with Menopause Connections to start a monthly Menopause Support group. Our next talk will look at how you can adapt your nutrition for a healthier menopause. In April we will be looking at sleep solutions.

DRAMA: we are forming a Drama Club for 12-16s starting in April, lead by Faisal Acosta.

DYSLEXIA: Our popular touch-typing course will run during the easter break in April.

TALKS: learn more about where you live through our history talks where we will be covering the Lost Mansions of Dulwich Village. Join Janice Li, curator from the Cult of Beauty exhibition at the Wellcome Collection in March.

Volunteering at Bell House

We need you!

Volunteering is a great way to meet people from all walks of life, try something new and help out great causes no matter your age.

The Bell House Publicity Team is looking for a volunteer to help publicise our events to a wider audience. This is a creative opportunity for those wanting to gain experience and be part of a friendly welcoming team.

The Bell Health Project aims to spread knowledge of good physical and mental health, using events and films. We are looking for volunteers interested in publicising our events and developing links with local GP practices, to join the current group.

Bell House is looking for volunteer Events Co-ordinators to join our team and assist with the implementation of our programme of events and activities. You will help plan the programme of talks and workshops, liaise with the Bell House project leaders and speakers, and oversee the logistics for both online and in-person events.

Bell House Regulars

Bell House regular activities are expanding with Quilt Academy, Volunteer Gardening, Bell House Readers (adult literacy), ESOL for non-English speakers, Sunflower Stitchers, pottery and Shared Reading.
