Conserving resources sits at the heart of everything Sussex Green Living. The hub brings together people, skills and ideas for living well within planetary limits, supporting our three pillars of conserving resources, restoring biodiversity and encouraging sustainable food.
Each month, visitors come to get broken items repaired, refill household product bottles and drop off hard-to-recycle materials and can join in eco art and gardening activities. It is a space for learning, connection and action.
This collaborative approach has been shaped by strong partnerships with local groups, and it continues to ripple outwards. New repair cafés and community hubs have formed across Sussex, many of which have been supported and mentored by Sussex Green Living. Together they help residents make sense of changing recycling rules, discover refill options and learn the value of repair.
Would you like to set up a green hub? We have put together useful step-by-step guides, just get in touch: marketing@sussexgreenliving.org.uk
Where: United Reformed Church Hall, Springfield Road, Horsham, RH12 2RG (past the Lynd Cross pub in the town centre).
