OUR COMMUNITY GROUPS
Throughout our community and parish, we have lots of climate action groups who are all working towards the same goal – to save our planet!
Listed below are our friends from around the area:
Lindfield Repair Café
Lindfield Repair Cafe is a non-profit initiative run for the community, by the community.
Open on the first Saturday of each month, a group of talented volunteers will fix your broken items for a small donation, helping you save money and keep waste out of landfill.
The cafes take place between 10am and 1pm at Lindfield United Reformed Church. Each month they welcome a different community group to their lounge area, inspire the next generation of repairers at their kids’ activity table and collect used candles for recycling.
Visitors can also enjoy a range of tea, coffee and homemade cake!
Greener Cuckfield
We are a small group of people who love our village and want to do what we can to make it a place where people encourage nature to flourish and cut down on waste and energy use. We started as a small number of enthusiastic individuals in late 2019 and brought on other like-minded people during the pandemic through our social media posts. Since 2023 we have organised:
- Plastics recycling collections at community centres, schools, and pubs.
- Free lectures on topics in nature recovery and sustainability (Small Talks).
- Campaigns to promote wildlife-friendly gardening and management of public green spaces.
- Community litter picks.
Greener Lindfield
Nicky Holbrook, our Steering Group member, also represents Fairer World Lindfield with Greener Lindfield, which is a community led group whose aim is championing sustainable gardening in our community.
Recent successes and projects with Greener Lindfield have been supporting the Weald to Waves Gardens & Greenspaces initiative https://www.wealdtowaves.co.uk/get-involved/gardens-and-greenspaces/ and Seedy Saturday swapping pots, seeds and seedlings at the Lindfield Repair Cafe.

Weald to Waves
We are a network of farmers, land managers, councils, researchers, wildlife charities, schools, gardeners and community groups. Together we are establishing a nature recovery corridor from the High Weald to the Sussex coast and revived seas, encompassing over 20,000 hectares of contiguous habitat.
We are establishing a 100-mile nature recovery corridor across Sussex. Connecting our fragmented landscape will boost biodiversity, capture carbon, enhance food production and enrich our rural economy.
