ABOUT US

WivSoc’s purpose is to preserve and enhance the Wivenhoe we all know and love. Although a lot of us fondly refer to Wivenhoe as a village, it actually has town status with a population of 7,600 that rises to 10,000 in term, with the University of Essex Students. Wivsoc preserves and enhances Wivenhoe by helping to safeguard the amenities, appearance and character of the area. We also encourage appropriate development, monitor planning applications and lodge our observations with the planning authority.

WIVSOC was formed in 1966, we have a growing membership of approximately 400 members. To this day, we feel passionately about bringing the community together and supporting local causes and charities. We do this through running our own events and encouraging everyone to get involved to make a positive difference to the place we live in.
