The Plan

At Bexhill Family Collective, we empower local people and community groups to foster collaborative thinking to drive community cohesion across generations. Our vision is to create a community safe haven where all people can come together to spend time outdoors taking part in planting, growing, ecological, bushcraft and craft activities.

Our plan for the Community Garden involves utilising the land to its upmost potential, in order to create opportunities and provide solutions to the local community in the following ways:

COST OF LIVING

  • Grow our own produce to support our community pantry
  • Volunteers and partners can take a portion of the harvest for themselves

COMMUNITY WELLBEING

  • We will run a range of groups and projects that encourage all people to work together towards a common goal.
  • Our groups will include those designed to support social isolation, well-being and mental health difficulties.

SUPPORTING FAMILIES

  • We will continue to offer on-site our community forest school and allotment sessions but will expand to include older generations.

COMMUNITY PRIDE

  • We will involve local schools in the growth of this project, and as a potential school trip site
  • We will work with other partners to provide youth services as much of the year as possible.

Donate to Support our Community Garden

As a not for profit organisation we rely on the generosity of our community. We are currently Crowdfunding to source funds to develop the Garden, with a target of £8000. Any money that we raise in addition to our target will be used to pay for making individual allotment spaces for community groups and resources to run weekly activities at The Collective Community Garden.We are grateful for donations of any size.
