(We are still looking for someone for the Secretary & Treasurer roles). We always want to encourage more residents to get involved.

We are very pleased that Katesgrove Community Association (KCA) currently has a committee made up of 9 local residents – every one of them getting involved when they can. KCA likes to hold events and groups throughout the year to encourage community growth; the more people who get involved with KCA will enable this to continue to happen.( Obviously due to Covid19, things are currently very different). We also aim to support the rights and interests of our community, Katesgrove Ward, by working in partnership with Reading Borough Council, Thames Valley Police and other agencies. We meet every two months – either in person or virtually – to discuss the local area and concerns of our neighbours, as well as great things we can do to support the character of Katesgrove and the residents of our ward! Our key focuses are:

Environmental issues – we host and help organise initiatives such as clean ups/litter picks and run a community allotment

Events and fundraising – organising & helping out with fayres, The Big Lunch, Christmas activities

Community outreach – keeping you up to date with newsletters, social media, etc

Crime – The Safer Neighbourhood Forum forms part of KCA and this could involve helping with specific issues that the police may be working on – or helping them with leaflet drops and encouraging reporting. If you have a preference as to what you would like to get involved with, please let us know [email protected].

Thank you to Mike Cox (Friends of Waterloo Meadows) for organising the autumn clean up yesterday. He and 5 other helpers spent hours clearing litter and rubbish from the Meadows.
Litter included bike frames, shopping trolleys, a lot of drug paraphernalia, bottles, cans and household waste.

Thank you to everyone for your time. And thanks to Mike for his dedication to the Meadows.

What a great day- so much food! We harvested the summer squash, cherry tomatoes, carrots, beets and beans. We planted onions bulbs and garlic cloves for next year. The winter squash have all been trimmed so the sun can ripen the fruit. It was all so rewarding! The sun was warm and the company was lovely!
