Need a moment for yourself? 🌿 We all know how busy life can get, which is why our Throwback Thursday sessions are here to help you hit the pause button. 💚

Whether you want to get creative with some crafting, have a good old natter with friendly faces, or simply enjoy the peace of our Collective Garden and cozy yurt, this is your time. 🧘‍♀️ It’s a judgment-free space designed for adults to connect, relax, and boost their mental wellbeing.

There’s no pressure to be an expert crafter or have any special skills: come as you are! Whether you're experienced or completely new, it’s all about the community and having a bit of 'me-time' in a beautiful, natural setting. 🌳✨

Ready to celebrate the longest day of the year in the most magical way? ✨

Join us this Sunday at the Collective Garden for an evening of Summer Solstice Storytelling! 🌿🔥 We’re lighting the campfire, putting the kettle on, and settling in for traditional tales.

Whether you have a story of your own to share, a local legend, or a favorite memory, we’d love to hear it. Or, if you’d rather just sit back with a warm drink and soak in the atmosphere, that’s perfectly fine too! This is a relaxed, non-judgmental space for us to connect and celebrate the turning of the seasons together.

While this session is primarily aimed at adults, families are more than welcome to join the circle. 💚

It’s Throwback Thursday! 🌿 Do you remember the simple joy of learning a new skill just for the fun of it? That’s exactly what we’re all about inside our beautiful yurt at the Collective Garden! ⛺️

Every Thursday from 11am to 1pm, we gather for a relaxed session of skill-sharing and social connection. Whether it's mastering some useful knots, trying your hand at simple crafts, or just enjoying a good chat over a cuppa, there’s absolutely no pressure here. It’s a chance to meet friendly faces and make a little space for yourself in a busy week. 💚

These sessions are open to every adult in our community: no experience needed and no criteria to meet. We run on a free/donation basis to keep things accessible for everyone.

Come and grow with us! 🌱

🌼 Volunteers’ Spotlight: Meet Debbie! 🌼

After retiring, Debbie was ready for a new challenge — and missed being part of a team. That’s what led her to volunteer with us.

💬 “I fancied being part of a team again, doing something different.”

Like many, she had a few concerns before getting started.

🧡 “I was a little worried about whether I’d be able to manage everything, as I have arthritis.”

But those worries quickly faded on day one.

🌟 “Everyone was so welcoming. It was great.”

Since joining, Debbie’s favourite part has been the sense of connection and teamwork.

🤝 “I love being part of a team again.”

So why would she recommend volunteering?

🌱 “It’s a friendly group — everyone works together to provide a service for people who just need a little help.”

Thank you, Debbie, for your kindness, positivity, and all the care you bring to the team! 💚

🌱 Volunteers’ Week Spotlight: Meet Doug! 🌱

After retiring in August 2024, Doug felt ready for something new — a way to stay active, give back to the community, and enjoy the outdoors. That’s when he discovered the Bexhill Family Collective Community Garden.

💬 “I like to be outside, and gardening is quite therapeutic. Volunteering felt like a great way to meet new people too.”

Naturally, he felt a little apprehensive before starting — but a visit to one of our open days helped ease the nerves.

And his first day? Well, it was unforgettable!
🛠️ “Two new wheelbarrows had just arrived with no instructions… another volunteer and I made it up as we went along. We still laugh about it now!”

Since joining in February 2025, Doug has become a regular face at the garden.

🌿 “There’s no pressure — you can help out with what you’re comfortable doing and come when it suits you. Everyone is so friendly and supportive.”

So, why should others consider giving it a go?

👨‍🌾 “You don’t need to be a gardening expert. I couldn’t tell a w**d from a potato plant when I started! But you learn as you go — and make great friends along the way.”

👏 Thank you, Doug, for your time, humour, and hands-on help — we’re so glad you gave it a go!

Get creative in the sun this Thursday at our Collective Garden! ☀️🌲

For this week's Throwback Thursday session, we’re going back to basics with some lovely nature crafts. We'll be making pine cone mobiles and twig picture frames, perfect for adding a little bit of the outdoors to your home! 🖼️🌿

With the sun set to be out in full force, it’s going to be a real scorcher! 🌡️ Because of the heat, we’ve decided to skip the campfire this week to keep everyone nice and cool. 🧊🙅‍♂️🔥

Please remember to pack your sunhats and slap on plenty of suncream before you head down. We want everyone to enjoy the garden safely! 🧢🧴

Whether you're a regular or visiting us for the first time, everyone is welcome. No experience is needed: just bring your enthusiasm and a friendly face!

📍 Where: The Collective Garden (what3words: ///onions.forms.catch)
⏰ When: Thursday, 11am - 1pm
💰 Cost: Free (Donations are always greatly appreciated and help us keep these sessions running)

We can’t wait to see what you create! 💚
