What is RACCA for? 

​

If you live in Ripe, Chalvington and Deanland Wood Park, it’s for you! The legal objects of RACCA are: 

• to carry on activities which benefit the people of the Parish; particularly to operate community open spaces and related recreational facilities

• to conduct community social events and activities

• to provide a facility for the community to articulate matters of interest and carry out environmental improvements

 

In practice this means RACCA can do pretty well anything legal that will benefit the residents of the parish, so if you have a good idea please get in touch!
