How We're Helping

As a resident, newcomer to the area, or someone who is relocating locally, we would like to take a few moments of your time to provide you with a brief introduction to KERA (the Kilworth Estate Residents Association) by telling you a little of the area’s background and what the Association, under different Resident Association names, has been able to achieve over the past 14 and more years, not only for the benefit of its members but, through their support, for all the residents of the Kilworth Estate Area.

Looking Forward

We are developing KERA beyond its historical boundaries into the immediate surrounding areas, enabling even more residents in the whole of Southend to benefit from the legal and planning expertise we have built up and our knowledge of the workings of the local council. To be successful and to make our voice even stronger on local issues, we need more members in the Southchurch area, and other parts of Southend that lie outside the original boundaries of the Kilworth Estate. Our vision is to make Kilworth Estate the best of areas in which to live, by working to improve facilities, helping as many residents as we can and engendering a spirit of community in the area through our activities and the sharing of common objectives

Membership

We hope that you will want to join us and we look forward to welcoming you and your family as members of the Association. As members you will automatically receive regular contact by email, WhatsApp and/or Facebook, about local issues of interest or concern to residents of SOUTHEND and the Kilworth Estate. We already have members in the Kilworth Estate area and we are hoping to increase the number in the future. You will be welcome to our virtual monthly coffee mornings, the Association’s Annual General Meeting, which is in August, and other events that we arrange, such as an “Open Gardens” afternoon.

A Better Start Southend

Available in our Area:

At A Better Start Southend we know local people can make great things happen. We’re investing £40m over ten years to improve the lives of Southend’s very youngest residents; and we’re working with local people every step of the way to find out how to give every child who lives here the best possible start in life.

A Better Start Southend is here for you, whether you’re a parent or carer of a child under four, if you’re expecting a baby, or if you work with young children in Southend
