WELCOME TO PERSHORE CIVIC SOCIETY

What is a Civic Society?

Civic societies are groups of people who care about their local environment. Many of these people work voluntarily in the community to ensure that they are pleasant places in which to live and form the basis of a functioning Society as opposed to the force-backed structure of the state.

We are independent, non-political organisations whose activities include ensuring good standards in new building and preserving important existing buildings. Our Society is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the heritage of the town in which we live and to keep the past, present and future interests of Pershore alive.

Represent the interests of residents.
Preserve our heritage and stimulate high standards of Town Planning.
Be aware of the need to grow and develop in a sympathetic way.
Promote Civic Pride as a means of improving quality of life in all places where we live, work and play.
Encourage a greater awareness of local history in all age groups.

We are not about ‘all work and no play’. We have talks, outings and activities including an annual wine and cheese party, all of which are well attended.

There is a quarterly newsletter, just to keep everyone in touch. The Executive Committee meet regularly and the Planning Committee meet every three weeks, in order to keep a watching brief on planning applications.
