JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Jericho Community Association

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 2026 AGM was held in Exeter College on April e. As a result of the elections the management of the Association consists of:

Chair: Alex Hollingsworth (Canal Street)
Vice-chair: John Crabtree (Walton Street)
Secretary: Amy Stein (Cranham Street)
Treasurer: Peter Stalker (Cranham Street)

===================================================

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

Did you know?

Why Jericho still has such a mix of houses?

Jericho's intriguing mix of housing today owes a lot, to the Residents' Association in the 1960s and 1970s which together with the then Vicar and some local councillors resisted plans to bulldoze the whole area and turn it over to offices and light industrial use.

What kind of households we have?

According the to 2011 Census, almost half of Jericho households – 46% – consisted of only one person, 24% consisted of couples with or without children, 7% were student households, and 11% were other multi-person households, while 6% were single-parent households.
