1st Chertsey Scout Group, founded in 1909, provides an exciting programme of adventure, personal development, and fun for over 150 local children aged 6-18.

We have built the new HQ but we now need funds to broaden the adventure.

The Friends of Chertsey Museum are a registered charity and were founded in 1994. Over the past few years, The Friends have supported many activities and new ventures at the Museum such as the Runnymede Room, Oral History  and Reminiscence projects, the archaeological trench on the Abbeyfield, the smart phone App, education work and the Museum garden.  We have raised funds  for additions to the Museum’s collections, notably for the Chertsey Abbey Tiles, and we have been active in organising special events at the Museum’s annual open day for the town’s summer Black Cherry Fair.

The Chertsey Society was formed in Autumn 1960 by a group of like minded local residents who were concerned that the historic character of the town was being eroded by sequential replacement of notable local landmarks.

Our aims are to:

• protect and enhance the character and amenities of the town and surrounding area

• help preserve the best of Chertsey’s historic buildings

• encourage good design and environmental awareness

• make representations in person and in writing to give the Society’s views on proposed developments, structure plans and environmental legislation

Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support helping families with young children through their challenging times. 

The primary purpose of the Orchard Day Centre is to provide care and stimulation for those suffering with Alzheimer's and Dementia. This is done by treating each client with respect and giving them the dignity that is often lacking in society once they have been diagnosed. The centre operates in a very relaxed, friendly and happy environment. 

The PTFA is run by a committee of parents and staff who are elected at the PTFA Annual General Meeting. The committee meets once a month to plan exciting social fundraising events to provide extra benefits for the children and the school. 

We always encourage parents to get involved and everyone is welcome to come along to our meetings to find out what events we are planning, offer ideas and help in any way they can. If you can’t commit to a big job, look out for things you can do less frequently (e.g. running a stall at the summer fair, baking for a cake sale). And you can always support PTFA events by simply turning up.

Having fun whilst raising funds for the RNLI is the ethos of the Chertsey and District Branch.  We attend most of the large community events in the area to publicise the charity’s lifesaving work and make a sizable contribution to funds by selling RNLI merchandise.  Having organised several successful fund raising events of our own recently we continue to seek future opportunities and welcome ideas from organisations and individuals.

We are a separately registered branch of the RSPCA and exist to help local animals in need. 

We are responsible for the fundraising, management and general affairs of running a charity and run entirely on the tireless work and dedication of our trustees and volunteers.

In addition to this we provide limited financial assistance to those on state benefits with their veterinary bills, should they find themselves unable to pay. This allows us as an organisation to help responsible pet owners provide the care for their companions.
