Warmer Sussex for RetrofitWorks have started an excellent, free energy efficiency retrofit webinar series with the aim of engaging homeowners on the challenge we collectively face to raise awareness of the need to improve the energy efficiency of homes across Sussex, provide advice on how that could be achieved and inspire people to take action.
Warmer Sussex is a not-for-private-profit cooperative, working with a range of community organisations, retrofit experts and fully vetted local tradespeople to help the people of Sussex in their journey to a warm, healthy and energy efficient home.
They are holding a short series of free webinars throughout February and March aimed at Sussex homeowners who want a warm and healthy home, are not sure where to start with energy efficiency improvements and would like to know more about what they could do.
The series started with ‘The Beginner’s Guide to Retrofit’ and this was followed by ‘Home retrofit: insulating your home’. Both are now available to view online: https://warmersussex.co.uk/recorded-webinars
The remaining webinar will focus on helping people to understand more about renewable heating.
Register for your free place via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/warmer-sussex-32416960333

I've been car free for 5years, I have a bus pass & walk 10,000 steps most days. This isn't possible for everyone but for those who want to give this a try it's a great feeling ... See MoreSee Less

Richard Battson and Merry Curd, who have been TTW members since we began, have a delightful, tranquil little urban wood in the heart of Broadwater. They would very much like others to benefit from its peace and beauty, so we wondered whether anyone would be interested in forming a little Friends Group to enjoy this lovely space and help with maintenance - which is pretty minimal, as it's a rewilded space so just needs a bit of tweaking when things get a bit rampant!
If anyone is interested in visiting to take a look before committing to anything, please contact Richard or Merry on 01903 231706. ... See MoreSee Less

Ever since I found out that earthworms have taste buds all over the delicate pink strings of their bodies, I pause dropping apple peels into the compost bin, imagine the dark, writhing ecstasy, the sweetness of apples permeating their pores. I offer beets and parsley, avocado, and melon, the feathery tops of carrots.
I’d always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden, almost vulgar—though now, it seems, they bear a pleasure so sublime, so decadent, I want to contribute however I can, forgetting, a moment, my place on the menu.

Very busy day yesterday at the Repair Cafe, huge thanks to all our wonderful volunteers and those who chose to repair rather than bin stuff.
36 repairs brought in and we managed to fix a lot of them. Sadly there are always some that can't be mended as they are designed not to be repairable - either almost impossible to dismantle or put back together again, or spare parts unavailable. The right to repair law leaves a lot still to be desired (see www.wired.co.uk/article/right-to-repair-uk) ... See MoreSee Less

We're so pleased our clock is back in working order. Probably such a simple fix for you guys, but meant a lot to me. Thank you again!! 😊
My toaster is now working a treat! Fabulous place, thank you!!!
Such a great concept and community to be part of. When we get to where we're going, we'll have to start one of our own 😊
