Welcome to Charlton Central Residents’ Association!
We are a friendly residents’ association based in Charlton SE7 in South-East London. We were established in 2007 and have been going from strength to strength ever since. We are proud of our history and optimistic about our future. For more information about any of our events, activities and groups, please contact us at chair@charltonresidents.net.
Spring social
In April we hold our spring social. Previously we’ve held a ceilidh dance, games cafe and Quizingo. This year, it’s Strictly Charlton!
Community Day
Every July, we celebrate our community through fun summertime events, which have in recent years included arts, crafts and jumble trails.
Flower, Produce & Craft Show
In September, we hold our very popular Flower, Produce and Craft Show, judged by our friends from the Blackheath and Greenwich WI.
AGM / Quiz Night
October sees us hold our members AGM, followed by our fun and ever popular, fiendish Quiz Night.
Christmas Fayre
December’s Christmas Fayre showcases local stallholders. We have games, mince pies, mulled wine and community carol singing.
Concerts
We also hold occasional concerts, bringing together local musicians. In recent years, we had a concert to raise funds for Ukraine.
Singing Group
Meets fortnightly, there is no audition process but it is not necessary for everyone to attend every session.
Walking Group
The walking group meets monthly and caters for a wide range of abilities. Walks are usually less than 5 miles.
Exercise Class
Meets weekly at St Richard’s Church Centre on Swallowfield Road. Sessions take place every Monday, 11.00-1.00.
Planning Action Group
Considers planning applications of local interest and makes representations on behalf of our community to the Council.
Community Safety Group
Works with Charlton Central Neighbourhood Watch and our local Safer Neighbourhood Ward Panel to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
ADVOCACY
We have a long track record of successfully advocating on behalf of our community. We scrutinise planning applications. We also have strong links with Charlton Central Neighbourhood Watch, supporting neighbours when they are having problems with crime or anti-social behaviour. And we regularly lobby on all of the issues that matter to our community to the Council, the Police and our local MP. Contact us at chair@charltonresidents.net.
