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.

Join Us for a Cheese & Wine Evening and Our AGM!
Come along to Institute Hall for a relaxed evening of cheese, wine, and good company. It’s a great chance to catch up with neighbours, enjoy a drink and a snack, and feel part of our wonderful village community.
During the annual general meeting, you’ll hear about the Coopersale Community’s achievements over the past year and the exciting plans we’re shaping for the year ahead.
We’re also looking for new people to join the committee, bringing fresh perspectives, new ideas and enthusiasm. Being a committee member is a small commitment that makes a big difference in the wider community.
If you love our village, come along to play an active role in Coopersale’s future.
