About us

Witton Lodge Community Association started life in 1994, established by local residents, in response to plans to demolish the Perry Common estate. From then on, we have tirelessly helped the local community – through the demolition of the old estate and the rebuilding of the new – keeping the local community at the centre of this process and ensuring local people influence decisions.


We’re an ambitious and growing organisation; if you enjoy working as part of a team, putting your skills to good use and making a real difference, read on to explore our current opportunities at Witton Lodge Community Association.


We also have an interesting range of Volunteering Opportunities available and if there’s something that you would like to do that’s not listed at the moment, please let us know.
