Coopersale Community was inspired by rainbows appearing in windows in spring 2020. We aim to continue this spirit of togetherness and connection.
We run regular activities to help connect people from across Coopersale. Sometimes these events link to national campaigns, whilst others are unique to our village. We want people of ages and abilities to have a change to take part, have fun and feel a part of something bigger.
We are flexible in planning events, so if you have an idea, get in touch! Everyone is welcome.

In October 2023 Coopersale Community was awarded £10,000 from Aviva Community Fund for an environmental action project, supported by our insurance broker, WB Baxter Ltd. Our project, ‘Forest Fun for Everyone’, aimed to increase our collective understanding of biodiversity, wildlife and the protection the forest provides the village.
Activity took place in Gernon Bushes Nature Reserve, our local forest with a Site of Specific Scientific Interest rating and protected by Natural England and Essex Wildlife Trust.
Activities aimed to instil awareness, appreciation and respect for the forest, supporting people to make better everyday choices that support the environment.
‘Forest Fun for Everyone’ included:
Four public events: two adult-only walks, one family walk, litter pick open to everyone
One-full day session for each year group at Coopersale & Theydon Garnon C of E Primary Schools
Two large information boards for Gernon Bushes Nature Reserve
