Greener Futures

Greener Futures Groundwork South supports residents and community groups of Hastings & Rother to build skills, improve job prospects to work and live in a greener way.

Greener futures is a strand of delivery at Groundwork South Hastings and Rother. Our vision, at Groundwork, is of a country where all communities are vibrant, healthy and safe. Where people feel empowered to come together and overcome the challenges they face, wherever they live and whatever their circumstances or background. However we know that’s not the reality for many. The UK continues to fac

e many serious and complex challenges; an increasing population, rising economic inequality, political uncertainty and climate change. When these challenges are combined with reductions in public funding and cuts to services we know it’s usually those who are most disadvantaged that are affected the most. At Groundwork our projects are designed to support these individuals and communities, to help them transform their lives and the places they live. At Groundwork South Hastings and Rother we offer volunteering opportunities for conservation and gardening in local green spaces. We offer environmental and nature-based creative workshops and activities for adults and children, including school groups. Our Together South team offers English classes, employability support and cultural activities for refugees and asylum seekers. Contact Shelley Pletsch, area programme manager on 07715631766 [email protected]
or Philippa Beagley, senior community outreach worker, on 07736132771 [email protected]

If you would like to sign up for our newsletter or like us to share a greenspace volunteering opportunity, or free nature based activities in the Hastings and Rother area please contact Philippa.
