Events

The Charlotteville Jubilee Trust started with a neighbourhood event in the form of the very successful street party which was attended by more than 600 residents. We continue to fund raise for projects within the Charlotteville Community. The largest was the new community centre at the Spike, other projects include the installation of a bench and notice board in Addison Road.
