Eastbourne volunteers refurbish estates’ shared spaces

The Mears Foundation proudly supported Eastbourne volunteers and Homes First in revitalising communal spaces at Hanson Road and Etchingham Road by providing a Community Green Space Grant. At Hanson Road, our team tackled a fly-tipping hotspot, organised a ‘rubbish amnesty,’ and restored bin stores. Residents were able to dispose of unwanted waste thanks to the support of the Tenants of Lewes District (TOLD) group. Over at Etchingham Road, volunteers cleared overgrown weeds, replaced an old metal pergola with a new wooden one, and added recycling signage.
