We launched Crawley Growing Together Project in Mar 2025, which brought the community into West Green Anniversary Garden to join gardening activities that created a peaceful, relaxing & wildlife filled space a short walk from the town centre. Thanks to Crawley Borough Council for the generous grant.

Our 'The Orchard' building got its energy efficient treat this February. We are grateful for the 'Energy-Efficiency grant' by Groundwork UK, which made this treat possible. Roof Insulation treatment - Double glazed Windows - Solar Panels - Advanced Boilers - were all done to conserve energy.

We start Day 2 with our annual volunteer fair, titled 'Meet the Charity', on 15 Jan 2025 at Crawley Library organised by Crawley Volunteers. 21 organisations attended to promote their volunteering opportunities.
