What's next for South Chingford?
Join Chingford and Woodford Green Community Independents to talk about the future of our area and get some of our ideas moving.
Date: 28 October 2026, 7.30pm
Venue: St Edmunds Church, St Edmunds Centre, 216 Chingford Mount Road, Chingford, London E4 8JL
Get together with fellow neighbours, residents and community groups in a social event to find out what we've been up to since May and explore what's next for South Chingford.
Our People's Assemblies in spring 2026 generated lots of ideas for future activity in our area. We've shared the results with the council's Future Waltham Forest initiative, but we know that there's a lot that could be done in our community. So we're hosting a social space for residents to get together with like-minded people and think about what practical changes we might put in place in our area.
Whether you're already active locally or have never been along to community events before: everyone is welcome. If you care about where you live, your perspective matters.
We look forward to meeting, welcoming and engaging with people who live in South Chingford, offering a chance for us all to build connections, make new friends and strengthen the sense of community.
Attendance Details:
The event is free to attend. Drinks and biscuits will be provided.
The venue is fully accessible and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any requirements for attendance.
If you cannot make it on this date or time, you can still get involved. We will be hosting more local events, and online opportunities, so sign up here.
