1. Introduction

    Little Chalfont Community Association (LCCA) is a not for profit Community Association based in Little Chalfont. Our vision and mission is to build a vibrant spirit in Little Chalfont, and make it an attractive place to live, work and enjoy. We aim to develop a sense of community by working together to achieve shared objectives: making Little Chalfont attractive, developing sustainability, encouraging trade, engaging with community planning matters and connecting with the village. We operate through a committee with assistance from a team of volunteers.

    A major part of our operations is keeping members advised of activities on a regular basis both for information purposes and for opportunities to participate in our projects. Maintaining contact details is an inherent part of being a member.
