Portchester Community Association (PCA) has a proud and interesting history and engenders tremendous local goodwill. Founded in 1962, it is one of the longest established Associations in Hampshire. PCA shares common aims with many organisations including Hampshire County Council and other public bodies that
contribute resources of interest. PCA has always strived to meet local needs and for many years has hosted events, taster days and other initiatives designed to foster community spirit and cater for local interests. PCA also works in partnership with other agencies, promoting joint activities. The Association is a registered charity and is governed by a board of trustees. Trustees are elected and nominated by association members. PCA managed the Community Centre in Portchester for 50 years until the lease for the new building was awarded to Portchester Community School. We are now based at the Community Hub at 2 new parade, 38 West Street Portchester. Portchester Community Association (PCA) is an independent charitable membership organisation providing activities, facilities and services to local people.

Activities include arts, sports, IT, children and family services, adult and community learning and services for older people. PCA also organises the Portchester Gala and the Precinct Christmas tree and lights.
