Our Social Media Policy is here; www.arun.gov.uk/social-media-policy

Our Privacy Policy is here; www.arun.gov.uk/privacy-policy The Parks and Greenspaces team started this page and continue to administer it in order to achieve the following outcomes;

Encourage and support a growing number of community Parks and Greenspaces volunteer groups by supporting and sharing all the work they do. Provide a social media presence for the residents of Arun so that they may engage with us on matters relating to Parks and Greenspaces. Offer guidance and updates on national Parks and Greenspaces campaigns. Share local community events in our Parks and Greenspaces. Who administers the page?

We’re closing today’s Arun Parks & Greenspace Volunteers Conference with everyone getting stuck into a workshop session together.

A chance for groups to share ideas on some pretty fundamental questions: how we attract and retain volunteers, what training and support people need, how volunteers can do more for biodiversity, the challenges facing our green spaces, and where future partnerships might take us.

A useful way to finish the day, not just celebrating what’s already happening, but asking what would help us do it better.

Now Gillian and Sue, talking about the growing network of community greening activity across Bognor Regis from Bognor in Bloom and the Community Gardeners to Really Wild Bognor Regis.

Increasingly, much of that energy is connecting through BRTC’s In Bloom Working Group, with volunteers helping steward a whole range of green spaces across the town.

A good reminder that “In Bloom” these days is about an awful lot more than flower displays!

Next up is Pam from the Friends of Hotham Park, talking about the group’s work, advocacy and the importance of looking after one of Bognor Regis’s most significant historic landscapes.

Hotham is much more than just a park, its trees, landscape, buildings and history tell a story stretching back generations. Pam is reflecting on the role volunteers play in helping preserve that character while making sure the park continues to work for today’s community.

Next up is Marisa from Littlehampton Community Growers, talking about their community allotment and orchard projects.

A great example of food growing, wildlife and community coming together, creating places where people can learn, grow, volunteer and simply spend time together.

Now over to John Heaver to talk us through Langmead’s Field, a stalwart of greenspace volunteering for more years than he’s probably prepared to admit!

John is sharing the story of the site, the birth of the Friends of Langmead's group and the ongoing work to protect and preserve it for the community.

Rita wrapping up the Greening Arundel presentation with the Community Orchard at Herington’s Field.

Another lovely example of community stewardship in practice, bringing people together around food growing, biodiversity and care for a shared green space, with Sussex fruit varieties at its heart.

A fitting way to end a presentation that’s really been about what can happen when local people are given the space and support to make things happen.

Rita now reflecting on the partnership between Greening Arundel Alliance, ADC, Arundel Town Council and the wider community to manage Arundel Cemetery more sensitively.

That partnership culminated in the cemetery receiving the first Green Flag Award for an Arun cemetery, a really tangible example of what can be achieved when community ambition and council stewardship work together.

Now Rita from the Greening Arundel Alliance, talking about No Spray Streets and how community advocacy can help us think differently about w**d management in the public realm.

Reducing pesticide use is one of GAA’s wider objectives as part of its ambition for Arundel to be a more bee-friendly town, a good example of local people helping shape a more considered, place-based response to how our streets are managed.

Next up, Katrina from Arundel Green Team speaking about the Greening Arundel Alliance.

Really good to hear more about how local people have come together to make a difference across Arundel’s green spaces, not just through practical action, but by sharing ideas, building support and helping shape how those spaces are looked after.

Dave also highlighted the extraordinary rise in hummingbird hawk-moth numbers along the south coast this year, particularly here in Bognor Regis, Sussex.

His point was that a changing climate does not only mean habitat loss. In some cases, warmer conditions are also creating new opportunities for species to expand their range, a useful reminder of just how dynamic our natural world is.
