Celebrate National Bee Day with Bees & Seas

Posted on 27 July 2021

The Bees and Seas team are celebrating ‘National Bee day’ with a series of family fun events this summer. Please do come along and take part.

Bees and Seas is a local project born from a common passion to connect communities with nature, across the land and sea. Three community enterprises: We Are FoodPioneers CIC, Friends of Brooklands Park and Creative Waves CIC, have come together to create a community beekeeping project and educational training space in Brooklands Park.

The mission is to help engage the local community with conservation and pollinators through a series of collaborative activities, workshops and volunteering opportunities. Local volunteers have been working hard to transform this industrial site into a natural asset and the Worthing Honey Collective have been busy preparing our Honey Bees for onward delivery to their new home at the Brooklands Apiary.

None of this would have been possible without the vital funding, grants, sponsorships and donations received! We are very grateful to the South Downs National Park Trust, Postcode Local Trust, the Sussex Transport team, Rampion Fund Sussex Community Foundation, Worthing Community Chest and Worthing and Sompting Lions for their incredibly generous donations.

Come and celebrate National Bee Day on 21st August. The theme this year is building back better for bees: focusing on actions for restoring, supporting and enhancing the role of these pollinators. Bees and Seas are hosting a series of FREE family fun activities, shows, talks and stalls at Brooklands Park from Friday 20th August through to Sunday 22nd August.

TTW will have a stall at the event on the Saturday 21st Aug, so do come and say hello or even help man the stall if you’d like to!

Some of our team were away today so we couldn't do as many repairs as usual. Apologies to those who couldn't get a booking and we are very full for the next one already on the electrical side, although we will have space for sewing repairs.

Big thanks to all who braved the weather today, especially to our wonderful team who are faced with unpredictable and often very challenging repairs, but handle them with a smile and a cheerful conversation.

Have you got a spare 10 minutes to help us protect our coastline?

This Thursday (17 August) we’re hosting a beach clean to make sure that our shoreline is looking its best during the last weeks of summer.

The beach clean will be going on from 10am to midday. No booking is required, and all equipment is provided.

Anyone wanting to take part should meet at the Coastal Office, between the Pier and the Lido on the promenade.

The event forms part of our Big Clean Up initiative, which has seen a series of beach cleans and litter picks take part across our town.

May Close allotment producing so much this year - this was yesterday's yield, to be shared among our volunteers and any surplus to go to a local food bank.
Big thanks to Tom, Michael and Sally for coming to help. Lovely to see Tracey, her daughter Rachel and to meet Tracey's grand-daughter Evelyn, who popped in to see us.
