“Our friendly team of community champions are always happy to listen and offer advice.”
NHS staff will also be on hand to give you the COVID-19 vaccination if you haven’t yet had it, as well as the booster dose. If you have any questions or concerns about the vaccine, you can come along and just have a chat about it.

COVID testing kits
Wandsworth Council’s new administration is keen to ensure workers in key public-facing roles across the borough can continue to receive free testing kits to keep them, their families, their colleagues and the wider public safe. This includes all those who deal face-to-face with the public.
Frontline workers can visit the following venues to pick up a free test kit:
- Roehampton Library, SW15 4HD
- Battersea Library, SW11 1JB
- Tooting Library, SW17 9PD
- Wandsworth Library, SW18 4AQ
People need to bring some form of work ID to prove they are a frontline or key worker.
