Working for our Village

Prestwood Big Week runs from Saturday 13th June to Sunday 21st June. Learn more about an event by clicking on its image, or go to our Prestwood Big Week page for full details.

Prestwood Community Association (PCA)’s goal is to make Prestwood a better place to live and work for all.

By working with residents, groups, businesses and organisations, we wish to be part of a community which shares visions and ideas for a strong, caring, happy and resilient village. And, of course, works together to execute them.

‘We love Prestwood’ Survey – Invitation to Results Review

Thank you to all who completed PCA’s ‘We love Prestwood’ consultation.

  • The results and comments have been collated and analysed.
  • Responses will guide PCA’s work, help establish where it can make the most impact, be part of an evidence base to support funding applications, and encourage volunteering.
  • Meetings have been organised to allow all residents and stakeholders to learn of the results, add further observations, and discuss ways forward, as follows:

Saturday 30th May, 10am for 10.30am
Venue: Prestwood Community Centre, Prestwood Common

Thursday 4th June, 6.30pm for 7pm
Venue: Methodist Church, Prestwood High Street

PCA’s Projects

Common factors of PCA’s work are that projects should be relevant to most demographics, offer opportunities for broad participation and volunteering, and have scope to be built on in future years.

Significant work streams include:

  • A survey of residents, held during March and April 2026. This important consultation will help ensure that the PCA’s work is in line with the longer-term needs and desires of the community. In turn, this will help when approaching potential funders.
  • Prestwood’s Big Week: following a successful inaugural programme in June 2025, PCA has announced an exciting series of events, culminating on Saturday 20th June 2026 with ‘Prestfest’, a music-led, fun, low-cost day out on the Common.
  • Environmental: PCA is working with Prestwood Nature on the long-term future of Sheepwash Pond, an important historical landmark and environmental site. Our ‘Bloom’ work seeks to promote greater feel good and pride in our surroundings, mainly by use of planting. Read more about Bloom.
  • Planning Matters: PCA is keeping residents informed on the progress of Buckinghamshire’s Local Plan, and made its own submission. When appropriate, we may comment on important planning applications.

Volunteering

PCA has a dedicated Committee of volunteers, and links with many other local groups. Our overall commitment to Prestwood is clear.

The extent of our ambition is limited mainly by numbers of volunteers. We have many possibilities for residents to participate. From joining the Committee, leading one of our activities, to joining a working group, to giving time to a specific project, volunteering can take many different forms, with differing time commitments.
