Donate & Support Us
We are working toward growing into 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 growing into 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.
Come and Help Us Grow
There may be a place for you here
We are a small, growing concern — not a finished thing. We are finding our shape as we go, and the right people keep arriving at just the right moment. If you feel drawn to what we are doing, there may well be a place for you.
Capturing what happens here — the harvest, the people, the small moments — and sharing it with the world. This is the work that lets people find us.
Keeping the systems, the site and the day-to-day logistics running smoothly, so the people out in the field can focus on the field.
Getting fresh lavender to the care homes, hospices and community organisations who are waiting for it. A practical, tangible role — you see exactly where it goes and what it means.
Helping us find and apply for the support that lets us sustain and grow what we are building. If you know grants, community funding or how to write a good case, we need you.
Turning what we grow into lavender creams, balms and oils, and taking them to market — all the way from the first idea to the finished product. If you have a feel for product development or know how to launch something with care, we'd love to figure this out together.
Seasonal, hands-on work at the field itself. Planting, tending, harvesting. Being out there as part of a small crew, in all weathers and all of the good that brings.
If any of this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you. Tell us a little about yourself and why you feel drawn to this work.
