Could you help shape the future of a local Abbeyfield community?

Abbeyfield Loughton Society, which runs Rider House in the High Road, is looking for new volunteer Trustees to join its team.

Trustees play an important role in supporting the Society, helping to shape its future and ensuring Rider House continues to provide a welcoming community where older people can maintain their independence while enjoying companionship and support.

The Society would love to hear from people who care about older people, their families and the local community, and who would like to put their skills and experience to good use.

💙 A new support group for people affected by MND in West Essex.

Following the loss of her mother to motor neurone disease (MND) in 2023, local volunteer Sophie Bell has worked with the MND association to establish the first dedicated MND Association group in West Essex.

The new group will provide a much-needed support network for people living with MND, their families and carers across the area. 💙

📍 The group officially launches on Thursday 15 October at Phoenix Live, Harlow, marking an important step towards ensuring more local people affected by MND can access support and connect with others who understand their experiences.

🌟 Loughton Community Day – Saturday 19 September 2026 🌟

What a fantastic day! 💚 Loughton came together for the fourth Loughton Community Day, celebrating the amazing community groups, charities, organisations and people who make our town so special.

A huge thank you to Loughton Cricket Club for hosting us, and to all our stallholders, performers, volunteers and supporters who helped make the day such a success. From community stalls and delicious food to music, dance, Punch & Judy and plenty of smiles, there really was something for everyone! 🎶💃🍕🎪

Special thanks to the Loughton Wombles for keeping the grounds spotless, and to Daniel Robinson & Sons, Church Hill and RCH Care Home for their generous sponsorship and support.

Most importantly, the day brought our community together, showcased the fantastic work happening in Loughton, and created new connections❤️

Thank you to everyone who came along — we’re already looking forward to Loughton Community Day 2027! 🎉
