Sustainable Sussex

Sustainable Sussex Charity based community farm & horticulture project on Sompting Estate. Contact us to find out more.

Sustainable Sussex CIO is growing a community farming and horticulture project based on Sompting Estate, working with the local community and including people who find access to the workplace difficult due to diverse needs and individual difficulties. We grow food (including chillies) together to help boost our local economy whilst creating meaningful and environmentally sustainable and satisfying

activities for volunteers. Sustainable Sussex is about people, places, lifestyle, economy and creativity. Please support our project by sharing our news, purchasing our products when they hit the shelves or by volunteering or donating.

Please support our friends at Apron by
donating to their crowdfunder to help set up their exciting new Lancing project.
Every little helps 🙏

We’re down to the last 10 days of the Apron Community Farm Crowdfunder, and we’d really love your support - whether that’s a donation or sharing with your networks:

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/apron-community-farm #

We’re so close to making this happen!

Your support will help us:

Create a much-needed volunteer hub with accessible essential services so we can start work on the farm.

Develop the project, planning, design, and operations.

Build a strong foundation from which our project can grow.
Support the campaign here

We want to thank everyone who has supported us so far. We know not everyone can pledge but sharing this with even one or two people who might be interested - maybe someone with you work with, or who works in the community, or just cares about the environment – could make all the difference.

This really feels like a breakthrough moment for the farm and the future of South Lancing, and having your support means everything.
