A village nestling in the Stour Valley
Up until January 2024, for many years the Cavendish Community Association had been called the 'Cavendish Community Council'. The 'Council' title had however provided people with a cause for confusion with the 'Cavendish Parish Council' and 'West Suffolk Council'. It was thought that being a 'Council' we must be responsible for grass cutting, bin collection and pot holes, which thankfully we are not. Our bank also thought that we must be a government department, which caused a considerable amount of disruption. So, we have changed in name to become an 'Association'.
Our aims have not changed and the CCA continues to raise funds for good causes within the village, and to provide donations to local charities.
As part of our fund raising programme, the CCA puts on a series of events throughout the year. Please see the events diary.
Grants for Students Young students from Cavendish may be eligible for a grant from the CCA. This could help towards payment for specialist books, tools or courses etc. If you think you qualify, please contact the CCA Chair, Pauline Lovejoy on 07540 437471
