Welcome to the Epping Society
Hello and Welcome to the Epping Society. We have been around fighting for the interests of the people of Epping since 1972 with one of our early successes being the M25 tunnel which shields the town from some of the worst excesses of the M25. We are all volunteers and would ask everyone reading this to join us by clicking 'join here' in the menu from only £5 a year. Your contributions really help. Additional donations can be made by clicking the 'donations' tab in the menue.. Our AGM is usually held in March. We had a record turnout this year (2025) and the committee hope to meet as many of you as possible as time goes on.
Donations
If you are in a position to make a one off or regular donation to the Epping Society we would be very grateful. Donations are separate from membership fees.
We are all volunteers and we take no payment for our work so all money goes straight to where it is needed most.
Every week our planning officer looks over new applications to ensure that app projects are in keeping with the nature or Epping. Most recently we enjoyed a major success in preventing a historic Redwood Tree in Tidy's Lane from bing chopped down.
We also look at major projects such at the Town Plan, the new car park and potential development on our greenbelt with the aim of raising awareness and campaigning.
Unfortunately none of this is without cost which is why we rely on your generosity and also means we can stay independent.
Thankyou so much for your continued support.
