Brighter Crowborough

A group of volunteers dedicated to keeping our streets clean, green and litter free

About us

Once known as “Scotland in Sussex”, Crowborough is the largest and highest inland town in East Sussex, nestled in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and bordering Ashdown Forest.

Brighter Crowborough is a growing band of like-minded volunteers who strive to keep our streets, paths, hedgerows, waterways and woodlands free of litter. We also maintain the planting displays at Crowborough railway station and run the Brighter Ashdown Forest group.

Brighter Crowborough meet on the first Sunday of each month at the Croft Road car park.

New volunteers are always very welcome, whether you can manage the occasional Sunday or would like to become a more frequent helper. Please contact us to find out more.

The Great British Spring Clean continues and our volunteers have been out and about every day this week. Kicking off with a litter pick with Beacon Academy students on Monday, followed by five visits to the A26 and litter picked, where we could safely do so, from the Forstal to the Boars Head. 24 bags collected from there alone. Total bags collected this week, 38. Those out this morning covered their usual areas. On Thursday, 40 signs were cleaned on Beacon Road from Mill Lane to Southview Road (yes there really is that many!) photographs are just some of the dirtiest. The I care for Crowborough have also been out and about this weekend with prearranged events. Thanks as always to all involved for #MakingADifference #GreatBritishSpringClean ... See MoreSee Less
