Tadley & District Community Association

Opened in 1994 the current Tadley and District Community Centre replaced the original community building that was a former US Air Force gymnasium which was part of the WW2 airfield at Aldermaston. Following the war, Aldermaston became the home of the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment and, Tadley expanded rapidly.  The community association recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.

Our Mission

The primary purpose of the Tadley & District Community Association (TDCA) is to bring together the local residents, local authorities, voluntary and other organisations to provide education and recreational facilities with the object of improving the conditions of life for residents of the area.

The TDCA is a registered charity and maintains and manages the community centre. The TDCA aims to promote the building as a focal point of the local area by providing a wide variety of resources and services for the community including pre-school provision, health activities, clinics, senior citizen clubs, parent and toddler groups, life long learning and social gatherings.

Tadley Community Food Pantry 

Since lockdown in April 2020 with the help of donations Tadley Community Food Pantry has been providing food parcels to those in need. 

Tadley Community Food Pantry, located in The Link, Newchurch Road, Tadley has been designed to support those in need of a helping hand, struggling with food deprivation, and allowing them to escape any current emergencies. 

The Pantry's goal is to help as many members of the community as possible and we welcome any donations from the public to help us achieve this goal and any donations will be ploughed back into the scheme to keep it running.
