Volunteer With Us

Sustainable Sussex is a grass-roots charity working primarily with people who find access to the workplace difficult, but everyone is welcome. Together with Sompting Estate, we are creating The Fen Farm, Sompting Community Farm, Nature Trail and Community Orchard.

If you like the idea of working in an inclusive community project supporting each other to grow through challenging times, mental health problems and social isolation, then our volunteer opportunities may be for you.

Our plans include building and running a community café, an outdoor kitchen with wood fired pizza oven and a commercial kitchen. 

Volunteer activities will include, but are not limited to:
Vegetable and other plant growing
Animal care
Traditional crafts, such as preparing wool for carding, spinning and weaving
Carpentry and building projects
Pond and wetland management
Art and design, music, singing, story telling
Growing hundreds of chilli plants and preparing value added products for our social enterprise, Sussex Chilli Farm.
