About the FHRA
The Flackwell Heath Residents' Association ("FHRA") is a registered charity (number 1111230) run by an executive committee of volunteers.
Our purpose is to support community life and make the village a better place to live. Our efforts are focused on providing better community facilities, organising and supporting community events, helping to preserve the character of the village, and informing its development and improvement.
All local residents are welcome to join the FHRA.
What does membership cost?
Annual membership is £5 per person — and every penny is invested in the village.
What does the FHRA do?
- Beautification ~ Maintains the Jubilee garden and four planters around the village
- The Market ~ Organises a food market on the third Saturday of every month, bringing local artisan food and drink suppliers to the village
- HeathFest ~ Runs and organises the annual Flackwell Heath summer festival
- Christmas On The Heath ~ Organises the annual Christmas event, including the Christmas lights switch-on
- Christmas Lights ~ Funds and manages the Flackwell Heath Christmas lights — without the FHRA there would be no Christmas lights in the village
- Amenities ~ Informs the development of local public spaces (e.g. contributed to the children's play area at the Recreation ground on Straight Bit)
- Litter Picks ~ Manages monthly litter picks to improve the appearance of the village
- Charitable Support ~ Makes donations to local causes including the scouts and Flackwell Heath Minors football club
- Village Voice ~ Acts as a voice for residents on planning and environmental issues, attending Parish Council meetings to represent village interests
