about us

We stand for collaboration, community and empowering local groups through connection, knowledge and wellbeing.

Greenhavens Network represents over 100 community groups and organisations working in and around green spaces in Peacehaven, Newhaven and Seaford in East Sussex. It was started in 2017 to support groups protect their greenspaces, work together to gain funding and training, and support one another.

Greenhavens Network member groups are passionate and enthusiastic about their green spaces and want to share that with their local communities. Groups are made up of hundreds of volunteers who provide thousands of hours of their free time. Volunteering  and running groups brings people together and often makes lifelong friends, keeps you mentally and physically well by learning new skills and knowledge about nature and food growing. Groups need all sorts of support from admin to publicity as well as physical activities so there is a space for all abilities and experience.

If you want to be involved, Greenhavens Network community groups are waiting to hear from you. Contact the Greenhavens team who can let you know more about member groups.
