Help Us Become Something Lasting
We are working toward becoming a Community Interest Company — and we need support to get there. Financial, yes, but also skills, time and expertise.
Our Journey
Sussex Lavender is on a journey. Right now we operate as a small independent project, but we are working toward becoming a Community Interest Company — a legal structure that would lock our mission into the business itself, so that everything we grow, sell or earn is permanently committed to the community.
To get there, we need support. Financial, yes — but also skills, time and expertise, especially around IT, logistics and the legal and admin side of setting up a CIC.
Financial Support
Help us secure the field
We are fundraising to secure the land for long-term community use, build the infrastructure needed for small-group wellbeing and educational events at the field, and cover the costs of transitioning to CIC status.
Any amount helps. Donations go directly toward the field and the people it serves.
We will set up a formal donations page shortly. In the meantime, email us and we will let you know how to give.
Invest Your Skills
If you believe in what we're building
We are looking for people who want to help make this real. We especially need support with:
Help us build and maintain a website that does justice to what we're creating — and the online tools to support it.
Coordinating deliveries, managing stock and helping us run collection days smoothly as we grow.
The paperwork and structure of becoming a CIC is one of the most important steps we face. If this is your world, we would love to hear from you.
Helping us plan, run and grow the events, donation days and wellbeing activities that bring people to the field.
Experience with community, heritage or wellbeing grants would be genuinely invaluable to securing the field's future.
Help us capture the field, the harvest and the people — images and words that let us share what this place means.
If any of this is you, we would love to hear from you.
