Community
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.
