Your representatives in Jericho
The Jericho Community Association (JCA) has five main tasks:
- To administer the Jericho Community Centre
- To establish a new community centre on the canalside site
- To represent Jericho residents on local issues such as planning
- To organize local events such as the annual Street Fair
- To keep residents aware of local concerns
The JCA is a charitable incorporated organisation. Registered Charity No. 1168203
The Association is open to anyone who lives in Jericho or elsewhere and everyone is welcome to come to most of the monthly meetings which are held at the Community Centre on the second Monday of most months at 8.00 p.m.
The 2025 AGM was held in Exeter College on April e. As a result of the elections the management of the Association consists of:
Chair: Charlotte Christie (Canal Street)
Vice-chair: John Crabtree (Walton Street)
Treasurer: Peter Stalker (Cranham Street)
The other committee members are: Zoe Guy, Phyllis Starkey, Michael Barnes, George Taylor, Colin Runacres and Alex Towler
===================================================
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 three other other local organizations to form the Jericho Wharf Trust. They are St. Barnabas Church, the Jericho Living Heritage Trust, and the Jericho Community Boatyard.
