• Infrastructure – The charity aims to be fully accessible in all it does, so where access is

Achievements and performance

Summer 2024 – This year the charity has been heavily focused on the Bexhill Beach Garden project, an accessible space on Bexhill beach. There was a big drive over the summer to meet the final fundraising goal to enable the building work to commence.

Aside from the development of the Beach Garden project we have been as busy as ever with workshops, running 189 separate workshops over a 12-month period. These range from Beach school session, activities in the Young Pollinators Youth Hub, or workshops in the Eco Hub.

The summer also saw our collaboration with the British Science Association and Sussex University’s Physics. Over a six-month period Community Supporters hosted events and activities for families and young people to learn about space and technology. The charity also attended events such as the Bexhill 100 and Bexhill Carnival.

• Autumn 2024 – In September spades first went in the ground to build the Bexhill Beach Garden. The event was celebrated with a photo shoot and was attended by the mayor and other dignitaries. The build was completed and opened to the public on November, with over 100 residents attending to soft opening. This just left the planting, artworks, seating and educational signage to be installed.

• September also saw the charity begin it’s community allotment in Sidley. The space includes a compost area, shed, play shop and areas to grow fruits and vegetables.

• The charity also pledged to become an Age Friendly Employer to boost the existing wellbeing programme for our volunteers.

• In November our charity laid a wreath for remembrance Sunday. The wreath was laid by our oldest and youngest members of Young Pollinators.

• The charity also co-hosted this years Oceans Symposium event again alongside the UNA Climate and Oceans. The event was attended by around 200 people and stall holders.

Winter 2024/25 – Winter saw the Young Pollinators programme introduce AQA Units certification for young people to work towards. Members can do activities and build knowledge leading to a certificate in line with GCSE knowledge.

Spring 2025 – Planting for the Beach Garden happened in earnest in the Spring of 2025 and in June 2025 the Beach Garden opened fully after the installation of the seating, planting and planters. The opening event was attended by many including the Lord-Lieutenant of East Sussex and Team GB tennis player Adam Field.

Trustees’ Annual Report Period 1st July 2024 – 29[th] June 2025

Fundraising – over the first 12 months of operation the charity has been successful in grant applications to 8 small and medium size grants. The charity set a fundraising target from grants of £30,000 for the year and achieved £29,160, the short fall was covered by public donations or charity reserves. The charity also managed to draw in unrestricted funds via public donations, workshop fees, and selling items through the Eco Hub (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. The biggest costs being those associated with the Bexhill Beach Garden project.

Future Plans

The charity continues to work towards 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 its aims, as well as supporting Rother District Council and other organisations to reach their environmental targets.

The charity also continues to work in partnership with the St Leonard’s Road Community Association to bring urban greening to Bexhill town centre.

The charity is currently looking at other large impact projects such as a recycling centre an expanded Eco Hub, and registration to become a provider of formal qualifications via the Young Pollinators programme.

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.
