Sussex Green Hub

The Sussex Green Hub takes place on the last Saturday every month, 10am- 2.30pm, at the United Reformed Church, Horsham.

It is a monthly event that offers environmental services such as our Horsham Repair Cafe, zero waste shop and recycling education stand, plus partners from the Horsham Community Fridge, Horsham Eco Churches, Community Energy Horsham and Transition Horsham.

Every month we also run the community art hub, learn more about the launch of this with the help of a National Lottery Community fund here. Some months we hold special events and workshops on a variety of topics from seed swaps to upcycling textiles. Plus a community café where you can enjoy a drink and light refreshments.

Working with other Horsham based environmental, community and faith groups, our ambition is that the Green Hub becomes a permanent 5 or 6 day a week fixture in our High Street.  Learn more about our ambition here. 

Where: United Reformed Church, 45 Springfield Road, Horsham RH12 2RG (near the old Wilko shop off West Street and the Lynd Cross pub and opposite St John the Evangelist).

Community Groups

Regrow

Transition Horsham talk about sustainable living with a particular focus on growing food and making our gardens more wildlife friendly. They have a community allotment and are always looking for more members of the public to join them. Learn about their SEED CIRCLE and much more.

Respond

There is an urgent need for whole sections of society – not just individuals – to move faster and deeper to cut carbon and restore nature. Horsham Eco Churches are part of A Rocha UK and work together to drive environmental leadership within the Church sector. This includes facilitating the local churches working together and with other faiths, and helping denominations and networks raise their ambitions and reach their environmental goals faster.

Carbon reduction advice, clean energy and more!

Our volunteers offer advice on lifestyle changes to reduce carbon. This is so important right now as it has a positive impact on both the planet as well as saving money.

Chat to us about ways you can reduce energy use in the home or change to clean renewable energy generated from renewable sources – sun, wind, water (rivers, tides or wave power) and biofuels (usually gas released by rotting food and agricultural waste). Also learn about local ambition to generate clean energy through Community Energy Horsham.

Refresh

Our Community Cafe is run by volunteers from the United Reformed Church. It offers drinks and light refreshments. Grab a cuppa and slice of cake while you wait for your repairs.

Cape of Good Hopes

Taking inspiration from the Coat of Hopes that was created for COP26, we are creating a Horsham Cape of Good Hopes.

The Cape is a collaborative community project designed to raise awareness of climate change. Individuals and groups make squares that represent their hopes and actions needed for a sustainable future. The squares are then stitched together to make a fabulous Cape of Good Hopes. So far we have had contributions from 5 year olds to 80 year olds – this truly is a community project.

“Carrie and her team have played a huge role in leading the way for those individuals and groups in the district who wish to have more sustainable lifestyles. She has greatly helped Horsham District Council encourage and support residents to avoid food waste and recycle what they can.”

“Sussex Green Living is a tremendous resource that helps Horsham residents to act on their sustainability ambitions. Carrie and her team provide much needed help to local people, businesses and schools so that appropriate action may be taken by individuals and groups with differing aims and restraints. This tailored, knowledgeable and instructive approach is invaluable as we reach for greater climate action and nature recovery within our communities.”
