Individual Membership

The British Benevolent Society of California provides aid and relief to British Citizens in need. Our support comes from generous donations, legacies and fundraising by members, and our community in California.

Throughout the year, we organize community events around the Bay Area where we offer our members a chance to mingle with other Brits in a social setting. Our numerous community events are British focused and fun! They range from monthly happy hours to theater in and around the Bay Area to our annual Christmas Dinner. The idea behind all of our events is to provide you with the feeling that you are back at home in the UK.

Please use the form below to sign up for a membership. Note that the default is yearly and will be renewed every year but you can change this to just ‘One-time’ if you prefer.

Renewing your current membership? Please use the form below and take advantage of our new yearly renewing option so you don’t need to come back and renew again next year.

Please note: During the registration there is request to give a 15% tip to the donation platform, Givebutter. This enables the BBS to have the service for free so more of the donations go directly to help those in need. Feel free to reduce the tip amount, but please contribute something to enable us to continue with this free service.
