The Friends of Old Portsmouth Association, FOOPA, was formed in 1949 after the devastation of WWllAt that time FOOPA aimed to, and presently aims to:
"... co-ordinate the views of residents and friends in respect of the re-building of Old Portsmouth, and to engender neighbourliness and community spirit."
We are still an independent group of volunteers who work hard to achieve those aims, but we do need more help. We need to refresh our committee to be able to continue doing good works on behalf of the community. We are not a forum for discussion - we do things. Going forwards, we can’t continue to address the increasing number of issues unless more residents volunteer. Help to keep FOOPA relevant and keep us going by visiting the membership page above, and sign up today.
