TWINNING

The basis of twinning is deeply rooted in friendship with the main aims being to enable different communities to exchange experience of their history, culture and contemporary lifestyle thus increasing mutual understanding, tolerances and respect.  Over the years twinning schemes have continued to weave an extremely close knit fabric within European community and elsewhere, which is growing stronger all the time.

The Billericay Twinning Association was formed early 1998, as a non-local authority organisation. to promote and foster friendship and understanding between the people of Billericay and other similar communities overseas. 

The Association is recognised by the Local Government International Bureau (LGIB), the Authority responsible for twinning matters in Europe, Sister Cities International (SCI), a body with similar responsibilities in America and has the support, by association, of the Billericay Town Council whose Chairman is its ex-officio President but receives no financial support from the Town Council.

Fishers in Indiana USA is the first 'twin' with which the Association has developed strong links.   A second twinning was agreed with Chauvigny, France and the final charter was signed in France in July 2005.

Visits funded by the individuals who traveled to Fishers and Chauvigny prepared the ground for these "twinnings" to be developed, particularly in the field of education which is considered to be an aspect of twinning of paramount importance.

We are looking to the future for our young peoples' sake by the formation of these links with the people of Fishers, Chauvigny and, in time, with other communities.

The Association produces newsletters throughout the year which is circulated to all its members and published on this website.
