Brentham Society

The Brentham Society is a non-profitmaking voluntary organisation of residents living in Brentham Garden Suburb in the London Borough of Ealing. It was formed in 1970 to preserve and promote the suburb, following the granting of conservation status a year earlier. Members pay a nominal subscription annually, and receive a quarterly newsletter. The Society has links with the Ealing Civic Society. The objects of the Society are:

  • To stimulate interest in the original form of Brentham Garden Suburb
  • To encourage, preserve and improve the character of the suburb
  • To promote the interests of the suburb and its residents
  • To promote community activities involving the members
  • To co-operate with any body or individual with similar or related aims
     

The Society's committee offers free advice to anyone thinking of making changes to their Brentham home, and it works with the planning division of Ealing Council to ensure that all developments or restoration works within the suburb comply with conservation rules and guidelines. The Brentham Society also organises a number of annual events that foster a sense of community and encourage an appreciation of Brentham Garden Suburb. These include a strawberry tea, an open garden day, carol-singing round the suburb to raise money for local charities, and donating food hampers to elderly residents. Ordinary membership is open to all residents of Brentham; associate membership is open to all individuals interested in promoting the aims of the Society.
