Wow What A Day!!
Celebrating what we have and what could be in Hollingdean
The Community Centre were delighted to host…
Our Celebration Day was the launch of Hollingdean Development Trust’s Climate in the Community project. It was a fantastic day for the residents to come and find out about all the green projects going on in the area. We where joined by Brightstore, BHESCO, Tech Takeback, Brighton Borrowers, Growing Hollingdean – Two Tree Community Garden, Hollingdean Repair Cafe, and local artist Karen Tilley making paper pom-poms. Including a yummy lunch provided by Sussex Surplus and a great song written for the event by the Hollingdean Song Writers.
A big thank you to one and all for fabulous groups that gave their time to this event, it made the day magical
A big thank you to our local councillor and current Mayor of Brighton & Hove Theresa Fowler for supporting our event. See what she said here.
The community came together and strengthened local connections, actively supporting each other, sharing helpful resources, and engaging in the exciting events happening in Hollingdean. For example Tech Takeback took 17 referrals for devices to be repurposed. We hope this will lead to digital awareness courses in Hollingdean.
Watch out for the next stage of this community project. If you would like to be involved please contact Polly on hollclime@hotmail.com
