Loose Amenities Association is a registered charity (registration number 215701) which is run by its members for the benefit of Loose and the people who live here.One of our most important functions is to care for and improve the 21 acres of the Loose valley the Association owns. This beautiful area is a haven for wildlife and Loose residents alike and provides a green corridor from Boughton Monchelsea to Tovil, where the Loose stream meets the Medway. We work with other local organisations to create a joined-up approach to the conservation of this important area.We also closely monitor planning applications in Loose and oppose those which we feel will have a negative impact. To raise funds for the work we undertake we organise fund raising events through the year and it’s possible that you have already enjoyed one or two of them as the Easter Egg Hunt, Duck Race, Scarecrow Festival and Carols Around the Christmas Tree are firm favourites on the Loose calendar. All of this is achieved by volunteers who care about where they live and want to make a difference. All the money we raise is ploughed back into Loose in one way or another, whether it be maintaining the woods and meadows of the valley, planting flowers and bulbs in public areas, funding and preparing expert reports to lobby for better conditions, financially supporting other local organisations with similar aims, erecting the huge Christmas tree and lights...and much more.
