About C&DCA and the White Hill Centre
More than 30 years have passed since the founding of the Chesham and District Community Association and the purchase of the redundant White Hill School building from the County Council. Thanks to the hard work of dozens of volunteers and our small band of paid staff, the Centre now can offer over eighty activities and classes for the whole community to enjoy. Also for 30 years, all surplus income has been ploughed back into the restoration and development of our grand Victorian building.
However, for years the use of the first floor accommodation has been restricted, due principally to the lack of a lift. I'm delighted to say that in 2006 we were able to raise the £30,000 required, thanks to the support of members and friends of the Centre. Work proceeded in January 2007, and we now have a passenger lift in operation.
I must add that over the years we have enjoyed good relations with the local authorities and thank them for their support and their recognition of the very important role we play in the Community.
