Coopersale Community was born from the spring 2020 lockdown.
Whilst COVID-19 turned our world upside down, people in Coopersale found ways to offer support and bring joy to neighbours. We began Coopersale Community as a way to unite these individual initiatives, increase participation and create greater positive outcomes for everyone in our village.
We look to build strong partnerships to continue these activities and grow initiatives to engage everyone in the community. We are committed to Coopersale being a safe, friendly and thriving village.
In March 2021, Coopersale Community was officially constituted.
We are a non-political volunteer group.
Coopersale Community is led by a dedicated committee of volunteers who live, work and/or worship in the village. We meet monthly to plan and deliver fun initiatives that help make our village a friendlier, safer and more connected community.
Everyone invested in our village is welcome to join Coopersale Community! We recognise that this looks different for individuals based on interests, skills and availability. We welcome people to join the committee, but equally keen for people who wish to take part in one-off events.
2025/26 elected committee:
Co-chairs: Dianne Lang and Sara Cormack
Treasurer: Dawn Young
Secretary: Sue Sainsbury

We are really happy to promote local businesses. If you would like a small ad to be included in future editions, please get in touch. Advertisers will be asked for a small contribution of £40 towards our printing costs.
We adopted our constitution on 6 March 2021 in an online meeting. We recognise this was not an ideal forum. Our last AGM took place on 28 March 2025. We elected a new committee for 2025/26.
Since May 2020 we've held monthly meetings. Minutes from our last meeting are available on request. Contact us to request minutes from any previous meetings.
