all about the PRA
The Pixham Residents Association was formed in 2009 with the idea of enhancing our local environment and strengthening our community through encouragement of joint activities. As well as putting on successful social events, such as the Pixham Summer Fete, monthly coffee mornings and pop-up pubs, we have initiated a number of community projects, campaigned to make Old Pixham School a community centre, others are in the pipeline.
News......
With the forthcoming closure of Old Pixham School as a community hub we need to find out what YOU, Pixham’s residents, would like to see in Pixham as we move on.
Please send us your views and preferences on future events by giving your answers to the following questions via the contact page on this site, or direct to: help@pixhamresidents.org
