Community Supporters is a Foundation CiO and therefore only the trustees are members and vice versa. The appointment of new trustees is completed during a set trustee meeting and all new trustees have a probationary period of 6 months.
The day to day running of the charity is overseen by the Chief Executive Officer who reports back to the board of trustees at planned trustee meetings.
The charity has the following policies and procedures in place:

Community Supporters aims to operate their various projects in partnerships with external groups and organisations where possible across their wider network. This means the charity maintains a strong network within the sector, but also maximises the potential the charity, external organisations, and project work has within the district and beyond.
Objectives
The charity objects are:
To advance the education of the public in environmental protection and to provide forest school based activities in the natural environment.
To promote the conservation protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by the promotion of practical measures and encouragement of partnerships to reduce litter and improve the general environment of the local area.
Summary of main actvites undertaken in relaton to the objects
Community Supporters has chosen four main focus areas by which all other project work is undertaken. These focus areas are:
-
Woodland Community – we run woodland forest school sessions for families during school holidays. In June 2022 a women’s support group was set up to support the mental health of women in the district through nature-based activities, the group has been supported to become self-sufficient and now runs independently from Community Supporters.
-
Countryside Community – we have continued working towards opening an outdoor education facility in Bexhill to conserve nature, increase urban woodland, introduce a community orchard to the town, offer training courses in countryside skills and crafts, and more.
-
Urban Community – The charity opened an Eco Hub in Bexhill in September 2022 to be able to offer a safe space and a workshop space which helps share the messaging of the charity, enables other groups to meet and use the space, and enables conversation among the community.

Period 30[th] June 202 2– 29[th] June 2023
- Waterways Community – we hold family beach school sessions during school holidays to showcase our amazing coastline to families who might not otherwise get a chance to visit the beach. We also continue to work closely with the UNA Climate and Oceans by co-hosting their online webinars and in person events such as the Ocean Symposium. This partnership has led to the charity earning a Generation Restoration Certification and more recently have become Ocean Ambassadors. We have developed a partnership with Southern Water to help us engage with young people in the area and help give them a voice when it comes to environmental issues faced by the community.
Achievements and performance
Summer 2021 – The year began with a summer long beach school series themed around being shipwrecked including activities such as clean water, beach safety (with the RNLI), shelter building, and species identification. Although half of the weekly sessions were cut short or cancelled due to either heavy rain or extreme heat, we were still able to support 30 families through the programme. This project was particularly popular with families with a disabled or SEN child.
In September 2022 the charity gained full planning permission for our proposed Bexhill Beach Garden project and fund raising for phase one is ongoing. At year end the charity has raised around £12,500. It is hoped that phased one will be able to be installed later in 2023. This space will not only give access directly onto the beach for those less mobile, but also helps to educate residents about this type of habitat and helps sure up the shingle against coastal erosion.
Also in September 2022 the charity opened the first Eco Hub in Bexhill. The space is small but offers a safe space, a place for small group workshops, affordable meeting room hire, and enables environmental conversation directly within the community. The space was also used as a meeting place for a young families group, Easy-peasy Pods, which have since moved to a larger venue.
Community Supporters also teamed up with the Friends of Combe Valley and Groundworks Southeast to host a public event for the Great Big Green week. An event that promoted the use of outdoor spaces and brought together people from all communities, including refugee groups. Activities included birdbox making, sustainable gardening activities, apple juicing, games, food and more.
Autumn 2021 – The autumn season was spent developing the Eco Hub into a safe and usable space that residents want to use. Popular workshop activities include a knit & natter group, sewing machine tutorials and clothing repairs, recycled paper making, and beeswax wraps.
In October the charity began a focus on health and food by offering firstly a slow cooker series of workshops, followed by toddler (and adult) cookery sessions. These sessions were very popular and expanded into a larger venue within weeks. Activities not only gave families and opportunity to cook together but gave the children skills such as chopping, mixing, and measuring in a safe way, boosting motor skills, literacy, and basic mathematic skills. For the year coming this group will evolve to include food production by partnering with the Bexhill Neighbourhood Gardener Scheme.
In November the charity once again teamed up with the UNA Climate & Oceans, as well as Sussex Wildlife Trust, to bring the fourth annual Oceans Symposium to Bexhill for the first time. This hybrid event focused on local, national, and global initiatives to protect our seas and water quality. The Young Pollinators project played a big part of the event by not only doing a presentation of the
Trustees’ Annual Report
Period 30[th] June 202 2– 29[th] June 2023
Bexhill Beach Garden project, but also helped maintain the technical side of the event, host a stall in the marketplace, and helped with refreshments and answering delegate enquiries.
Winter 2021/22 – The main focus for the winter period was focused on cost of living, energy prices, and keeping warm. Before Christmas the Eco Hub teamed up with Energise Sussex Coast to offer energy advice and support to residents. This was the only energy advice of its type in Bexhill.
The knit & natter group led on the Winter Warmers project which saw residents and volunteers knitting hats, scarves and blankets to be given to those most in need of warmth over the winter period. To date the campaign saw over 100 knitted items given to people in need, including babies and children.
In December 2022 we were approached by Lightup Bexhill asking for ideas to decorate the town Christmas tree, an idea that came about from a local schoolboy. With help from the community we sourced wood rounds to decorate sustainably and hang on the tree.
At the Eco Hub we started a teddy bear hospital where people could bring very loved soft toys for repair, which has proved popular. We’ve given made temporary homes for lost toys waiting to find their owners. We were also awarded a Commitment Award from the Wellbeing at Work scheme run by East Sussex County Council and have begun working towards the bronze award.
Spring 2022 – During the spring period (early 2023) the charity secured funding to continue the Eco Hub for another year and to increase the number of workshops and community activities on offer. The hub has also become a registered CLeanUP UK litter picking hub, becoming the first within the Rother area. Members of the public or organised groups can come to the hub and borrow litter picking equipment and PPE in exchange for a record of the number of bags of litter collected.
The charity celebrated the King’s Coronation by partnering with volunteers at Bexhill in Bloom, where together with the Young Pollinator programme we planted up the town centre planters in the theme of red, white and blue.
We again partnered with the Friends of Combe Valley and Groundworks Southeast to host the 2023 Great Big Green Week event at the Discovery Centre, Combe Valley Countryside Park. As well as supporting other community events throughout the area.
Fundraising – over the first 12 months of operation the charity has been successful in grant applications to 10 small and medium size grants. The charity set a fundraising target of £30,000 for the year and successfully achieved this. The charity also managed to draw in unrestricted funds, donations, workshop fees, and selling items for donation (see financial report under donations for more details).
Financial expenditure – the bulk of the funds secured have been used to cover project costs, mainly equipment, venue hire, and external facilitator costs. Moving forward the charity aims to reach a point where permanent paid staff can oversee the delivery of project work, rather than relying on external facilitators.
Future Plans
Trustees’ Annual Report
Period 30[th] June 202 2– 29[th] June 2023
The charity hopes for a positive response to the already submitted business plans for an outdoor education space at Broad Oak Park in Bexhill as this will go a long way to enabling the charity to reach it’s aims, as well as supporting Rother District Council and other organisations to reach their environmental targets.
The charity hopes to install phase one of the Bexhill beach Garden project later in 2023 and begin fund raising for phase 2 not long after.
The charity aims to be in a position to offer secure employment and work on the development of largescale and environmentally impactful projects, supporting both the needs of the community and our natural environment.
