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.

Happy New Year everyone 🥳🍾🥂🥳Thinking about volunteering with us in 2026? We are out and about on a Sunday morning, as well as other days but generally our volunteers just get out there and get on with it. That aside, someone will generally be at the Croft Road car park, the part nearest Croft Road, on the first Sunday of each month. Someone will be there this Sunday 4th January at 9 a.m. We can loan equipment for a one off, or for anyone wanting to volunteer on a permanent basis, you would be welcome to keep hold of the equipment but we would ask you to show a commitment to our group. Unfortunately we don’t have an endless supply of equipment! If litter picking isn’t for you, we’re also looking for at least a couple of volunteers to look after the ten planters for us at the Crowborough Railway Station.If interested in either, by all means message us, email us from the form on our website at www.brightercrowborough.co.uk or come along to Croft Road car park at 9 o’clock on the first Sunday of the month. ...
