The Trumpington Residents’ Association was founded in 1992. In October 2008, it was established as a company limited by guarantee and in October 2010, it was entered in the Register of Charities.

The aim of the Association is to make Trumpington a better place for the future, by working to maintain and improve the quality of life of local residents. The Association is apolitical, encouraging input from everyone involved in Trumpington.

The Association has been working with the City, District and County Councils and developers to achieve the highest quality in the new housing, community, education and transport initiatives in the area. We have been actively involved in the design of the new developments on Clay Farm, Glebe Farm and Trumpington Meadows and welcoming new residents into an enlarged community. These developments include 3700 homes, primary schools, a community college, community facilities and country parks.
