Worcester Park Community: non-profit groups and local information
This section includes details of the non-profit groups in and around Worcester Park that make the difference between somewhere to live and a community. Links to other sites that are useful to those living in or visiting the area are also provided.
Associations
Stoneleigh and Auriol Residents' Association (SARA) Stoneleigh and Auriol Residents' Association (formerly Stoneleigh Residents' Association) was formed in 1933 to provide people in Stoneleigh with a non-political voice on Epsom & Ewell Borough Council. The web site contains useful local information.
Worcester Park Residents Association The Worcester Park Residents Association (WPRA) represents London Borough of Sutton residents living within KT4 and neighbouring RB Kingston residents bounded by the Worcester Park Railway line and London Road. The area comprises Worcester Park Ward and part of Nonsuch Ward. Founded in 1996, membership currently stands at 200 households. The Association responds to planning applications and holds public meetings three times a year to discuss local issues.
Boating
The River Thames Boat Project owns and runs a specially converted and equipped community boat and floating classroom based in Kingston. It offers three programmes tailor made for community groups and schools plus day and residential voyages and on-board classroom facilities with easy access for people with disabilities.
Books
Worcester Park & Cuddington: A Walk Through the Centuries. David Rymill The book, which also includes Stoneleigh and Nonsuch, was published on a not-for-profit basis, and one of the author's reasons for writing it (other than the fact that he enjoyed doing it) was to promote Worcester Park as a community. Previous local history books had tended to treat it as an extension of Cheam, Ewell or Malden. The book is a history of the area and includes photographs plus memories and reminiscenses by residents. A must for anyone with an interest in Worcester Park.

Cheam Woodturners Association The CWA was formed in October 1999 to promote the art & craft of Woodturning in the South London / North Surrey area
