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.
