The Gerrards Cross Community Association offers residents and businesses throughout the area the chance to work, rest or play with a wide range of facilities available including a cafe, function rooms, gym and conference facilities.
A community is not just families and businesses bounded by geographical links but a collective of unique, talented and inspirational individuals who are bonded together by a mutually supportive lifestyle and hobbies, interest, religion or sport.
The picturesque village of Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, is a community steeped in English tradition and rich country heritage. The Gerrards Cross Memorial Centre and lies on the A40 20 miles north west of central London, close to the M25/M40 motorway intersection and with a fast rail connection to London Marylebone provided by Chiltern Railways.
The Gerrards Cross Community Association (GXCA) was formed in 1947 in order to pursue a common goal:
to promote the well–being of the local community
to advance education
to provide a meeting place….for recreation and social, moral, spiritual and intellectual development
to foster a ‘community spirit’
It has done this admirably to date by making available accommodation for clubs and societies, sponsoring new activities and running educational classes in partnership with Buckinghamshire County Council and other adult education providers.
There is definitely something happening for everyone and exciting opportunities already include:

The Association is a charity, financed from subscriptions, rental income and various fund-raising activities run throughout the year, including the February Attic Sale and the famous Gerrards Cross Jumble Sale in September. However more functions and members are needed if GXCA are to continue to be a vibrant hub in the community and to increase their support of YOU and promote growth for the next generation!!!
The main buildings on the site, set in grounds overlooking the Gerrards Cross Common, were erected or purchased and adapted, as living war memorials for those lost in the First and Second World Wars.
The Memorial Centre now accommodates many special interest clubs, and is host to public and private social events and offers a wide range of adult education classes.
