Welcome to CADRACADRA (Caversham and District Residents' Association) was established over 40 years ago and has become a widely respected voice for the community north of the river. Our aim is to "preserve and enhance the quality of life in Caversham and the surrounding District."

Then make a difference and come to a Neighbourhood Action Group meeting on Tuesday 9th February 6pm-8pm at Highdown School Hall.Following the introduction of Neighbourhood Policing, two groups were formed in Caversham for local people to work with the Police and other agencies in setting priorities and addressing local issues. The Lower Caversham Group which includes Caversham Centre has made good progress, meets regularly and is well attended. However the Upper Caversham group has not met for some time. Inspector Penny Mackenzie is very keen to restart the group. We hope that as many people as possible will attend the meeting. Please help to spread the word!
