Chantry Residents Association
The headquarters of Chantry Residents Association is a community shop on Lavender Hill in IPSWICH.
In the shop we sell second hand items including adult and childrens clothing, bedding, curtains, nic nacs, well anything really (except electrical goods and furniture!) you would like or would need for yourself or your home, they are all clean and in good condition and sold at very reasonable prices.
Naturally to be able to sell things we rely on donations, of which we are always very grateful for like unwanted gifts, good toys/games/clothes which the children have grown out of, adult and child books, video's, pots and pans, jewellery etc
We also have lots of information leaflets from organisations offering advice on various subjects which you may have problems with; rent, bills, housing etc
Once a month the County Councillor and local Community Police Officer hold a surgery where any estate issues or concerns can be raised and hopefully dealt with.
The community shop is run by volunteers and currently has some vacancies, if you have some spare time one morning or afternoon or even just a couple of hours a week and would like to help out please contact us on 01473 683680
The Chantry Residents Association committee are very pro-active in estate issues and problems and work closely with Suffolk County Council and Ipswich Borough Council they have recently been responsible for installing pathways, improved lighting, installing CCTV camera's and generally improving the area.
If you would like to make a difference to your community or like to be involved in estate matters/decisions all you have to do is come along to a committee meeting which are held once a month at The Community Shop and usually only last an hour to an hour and half max. If after a couple of meetings you find that you would like to join the committee you would be more than welcome.
