Who we are

The Chislehurst Society is a registered charity (Reg. no. 298413) and has a written constitution formally approved by the Charity Commission. Copies are available to all members. We are also registered with the Civic Trust and affiliated to the London Forum and other amenity groups.

  • We act to preserve and enhance the quality of life in Chislehurst, its environmental amenities, its special character, and natural beauty
  • We keep a keen watch on matters of public interest and developments that could affect the interests of Chislehurst residents
  • We encourage high standards of planning, architecture and environmental design in Chislehurst
  • We are active in protecting and preserving trees, public open spaces, buildings, and other special features
  • We seek to foster in young people an interest in the local environment through liaison with local schools and colleges
  • We advise members on amenity problems in Chislehurst
  • We issue publications and arrange meetings, lectures, and displays

Our Road Stewards play a vital part in communicating with our members. We keep our Road Stewards updated on developments every month, and report each year to our members on the work of the Society in an annual report.  We distribute our two publications, Cockpit and The Chislehurst Report three times a year, and two or three social events are arranged each year.

Offices

We now have our own offices at the Chislehurst Methodist Church in Prince Imperial Road, Chislehurst BR7 5LX. Regular access is restricted to members of our Executive Committee, but we held a meeting of Road Stewards here on 22 May and we are planning to have open sessions where members are able to consult with members of the Committee. At present we are still using our PO Box 82 mailing address for normal mailing

The current membership is over 4,000.  The majority of our members are residents of Chislehurst, but a significant number live outside the village, and some live abroad. 

The annual general meeting, held each spring, elects the officers and members of an executive committee, and receives reports from officers.

This committee meets each month to conduct the business of the Society.  Click here for the members of the Committee.

The Society always welcomes the assistance of members who can offer expert advice and help. If you would like to support the work of the Society, please contact the Chairman.
