In partnership with Public Health East Sussex
Duration: January – June 2026
The project will build on insights gathered from a recent 6-month peer-learning initiative, Learning to Grow, and a series of earlier community conversations, all hosted by Transition Town Hastings and the Hastings Garden Town team. The aim of these events has been to highlight local assets, focus attention on where support can be directed, and improve our collective impact to create a healthier, greener, more sustainable and biodiverse town.
Genuinely led by community goals and plans the project will maximise opportunities for engagement and involvement, it will amplify voices of groups experiencing barriers to accessing greenspaces; and will create collaborative relationships that build on community strengths and local leadership.
Project staff can support organisations that are maintaining public greenspaces with capacity building, shared learning activities, volunteering, and the opportunity to apply for small grants.
The project has also introduced a shared calendar to promote all the amazing green and growing events and projects happening across Hastings. Please ‘Join’, share your events and spread the word, using the link above.
Please note that the project ends June 30th and is in its winding down phase.
