A Salsa Evening for Everyone
Saturday 28th February at Iver Heath Village Hall (5.30pm - 7.30pm)
This two-hour session is designed for all those that are interested in Salsa dancing: whether you've never tried it before or have enjoyed this style of dance for a long time. Our local Salsa dance expert and teacher, who already runs popular sessions in Richings Park, is coming to Iver Heath.
Everyone will be made welcome and helped through their paces. Or if you want to come along, watch, enjoy some refreshments and meet with or make friends, that's great too.
No need to book - just turn up. Free to IHRA members and £5 for non-members.
Join the Ivers Community Challenge 2026
Help us spring clean the Ivers in our annual mega clean-up campaign
For the fourth year in a row, we are organising The Great British Spring Clean in the Ivers as part of the annual campaign run by Keep Britain Tidy.
More than 500 bags of litter were collected from the Ivers' streets, verges and green spaces by local volunteers over the last three events - and that's not counting what's been collected during monthly Residents Associations' litter picks in our villages.
Everyone is welcome to join us for the big event on Saturday 21st March which will take place during the middle of the day. Exact timings to follow but please save the date. Local schools, businesses and groups can also organise their own events between 13th and 29th March to be part of the Ivers Community Challenge'. More information will be coming out early in February.
Iver Heath is set for considerable change
Come along and find out how: Iver Heath Village Hall on 11th October
There are so many plans for the Ivers over the rest of this decade that it's hard to keep up:
- complete remodelling of Five Points Roundabout (Iver Heath)
- several housing developments totalling up to 1,000 homes (across the Ivers)
- six data centres (across the Ivers)
- National Grid's vastly expanded sub-station (Iver Heath)
- a motorway services area (Iver Heath)
- The 2025 Buckinghamshire Council Local Plan
We're bringing together lots of useful information about these and other decelopments, as well as Councillors and other useful contacts, to address residents' questions. Don't rely on hearsay - come and ask those who have the answers!

Come along, bring your family, friends and enjoy the fun

This is designed to be an event that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Meet the Ivers Unitary candidates who want to represent us on Buckinghamshire Council
Important event prior to the Local Elections on 1st May 2025
The three Ivers residents' associations - Iver Heath, Iver Village and Richings Park - are organising a Hustings prior to the Local Elections which will take place on 1st May.
Six of the ten candidates who will be competing for just two seats on Buckinghamshire Council representing the interests of the Ivers have accepted our invitation to participate . This is your chance to hear how they will raise the profile of our area and fight to get the best possible outcomes for us. With so many potential commercial developments coming our way, cut-backs in services and pressures on budgets, we need the best of the bunch to represent our communities.
Join us at Richings Park Sports Club on Tuesday 22nd April (6.30pm for 7pm start) for a 'Question Time' format session to help you decide who should get your vote.
Join us for this year's Great British Spring Clean
The Ivers Community Challenge is on for 2025
Once again, volunteers across the Ivers will be taking to our streets and green spaces for a massive rubbish clear-up. Part of the Great Britain Tidy organisation's nationwide initiative, the Ivers Parish is aiming to set the standard for taking pride in the environment.
The BIG Community Litter Pick will be taking place on Saturday 5th April, followed by prizes, certificates and complimentary refreshments at The Swan in Iver Village for everyone who took part.
Team Iver Heath is keen to win the awards for the greatest number of volunteers and bags collected per volunteer on the day so, if you live in Iver Heath, please come and join us. Everyone is welcome - whatever your age or ability, each and every person can make a difference.
We really hope to see lots of you at the Iver Heath meeting points at 1pm: Stag & Hounds car park or Iver Heath Village car park, whichever is more convenient for you.
Litter Picking
IHRA helps keep Iver Heath tidy
Our Litter Picking volunteers meet at 10:30 on the first Saturday of each month. Much good work has been done since we first started this initiative, with well over 300 bags of rubbish collected by volunteers from around our village since we started the initiative.
If you are concerned about the state of a particular area of Iver Heath and would like to get involved to help clean it up please contact us.
Volunteering at the Environment Centre
Why not give the the Garden Volunteer groups a try?
The Iver Environment Centre is a fabulous environmental education charity located between Uxbridge and Iver, with a 2.4-acre site of different gardens, ponds and allotments used to teach local schools in Hillingdon, Slough and South Bucks about nature, the environment and food growing.
Because of Covid restrictions, and despite best efforts by the centre's small but very dedicated team, the gardens of the centre - including allotments and various themed gardens like the Mediterranean, herb and exotic gardens - are looking a little worse for wear. The team is really keen to make sure that the centre is looking great, as well as safe and smart, for visiting school groups in the summer and families in the holidays.
If your are interested in giving a helping hand at their Wednesday groups - either regularly or just giving it a try - they'd be delighted to hear from you. Call 01895 270730 or email Iver.environment@groundwork.org.uk
