NEXT MEETING: April 25th in Jevington Village Hall
The Jevington and Filching Residents Association was formed in 1990 following the demise of the Jevington Parish Council and its incorporation into Willingdon and Jevington Parish Council. Its aim was to provide a local focus and voice for the residents of these villages. It is now known as the Community Association to reflect its wider scope.
The aims of the Jevington and Filching Community Association are:
• To promote a vibrant and active community;
• To provide mutual support and cooperation among our members;
• To address issues affecting the community and seek solutions;
• To act as a forum for discussion.

In addition to fulfilling its aims, it has been involved in establishing memorials around the village, supporting the Village Hall, and most recently instrumental in the placing of a defibrillator in the village and the planting and maintenance of an orchard at the Cricket Ground.
Membership of the Association is by annual subscription, which meets the administration and operating costs, as well as supporting some community activities. Membership is open to all with an interest in these villages, but voting rights are limited to members who live, own property or land in the Parish of Jevington & Filching.
Meetings are held at least four times a year and usually take place in Jevington Village Hall and commence at 7.00 pm. All are welcome.
The Association is run by a Committee of elected officers and governed by its Constitution, which lays out in full details of membership, subscription, officers and its general operations, including meetings. A copy of the Constitution can be found below.
