===================================================
For the past 20 years the JCA has been working towards establishing a new community centre on the vacant canalside site.
For this purpose, we have joined forces with two other other local organizations to form the Jericho Wharf Trust. They are the Jericho Living Heritage Trust, and the Jericho Community Boatyard. The Trust also works closely with St. Barnabas Church
For the latest information on this project, please visit the Jericho Wharf website
