Who We Are
We’re a community association and a registered charity, open to all, working to keep Weybridge a great place to live! For over 60 years we’ve been representing local residents in the public interest: our focus is protecting and enhancing Weybridge! We take action on a broad range of issues, from local services in health and transport to building developments, traffic and parking, and our members are people who care about living in a lovely, lively and safe place and who want news about changes that affect us all.
We depend on active members to work together, but strength comes in bigger numbers — we’re always looking for people to join and be part of our organisation.

What We Do
We listen to local people and engage with elected officials, local authorities (Surrey and Elmbridge), NHS health bodies, and other organisations, in order to increase awareness of people’s concerns and aspirations.
Our activities include:
• Tracking local plans, building developments and infrastructure projects, gauging their impact and presenting local views in a rational, informed way. Our goal is always to ensure a positive result for the town
• Creating and implementing a vision for Weybridge
• Encouraging and supporting more healthy forms of travel
• Organising and promoting arts and cultural events
• Reaching out to educational institutions to involve young people in the community
• Donating funds to other charities, groups or individuals whose work contributes to the achievement of the Society’s objects
Many of our members have deep local knowledge as well as in specialised areas like planning, transport and health. We invite others to join our activities and get involved.
