The WARA Committee

The Woolwich Arsenal Residents Association is a non-profit, run entirely by volunteer leaseholders and residents who give their time to represent the Royal Arsenal.

A volunteer-run, non-profit association

WARA receives no funding and pays no salaries. Every Committee member volunteers their time — around 8–10 hours a month on average, including Committee and sub-committee meetings. We're looking for more residents to join. If you'd like to help, we'd love to hear from you.

Sub-committees

These focused groups work on specific issues. Membership is not restricted to elected Committee members — any WARA member can volunteer.
