Event Support at Friends of Buchan Country Park : Volunteering in Crawley

Friends of Buchan Country Park', is a newly reformed volunteer group that came together in June 2024, following the closure of the previous committee during the Covid lockdown. Our main aim is to raise awareness of the park within the communities of Crawley and Horsham. As the park sits on the border of both towns, it is managed by West Sussex County Council rather than the town councils, which means we don’t receive the same level of support as the town parks. That said, Buchan Country Park is just as valuable to the local community, it is a beautiful ancient woodland and we are very proud to have once again been awarded the Green Flag Award this year.

What skills do I need?

All of our events are volunteer-run, and any funds we raise go directly back into maintaining the park. This includes replacing fencing, repairing or installing new benches and picnic tables, and purchasing bird seed for the viewing displays in the Countryside Centre.

We would warmly welcome volunteers, whether on an ad-hoc basis to help with events, or as permanent members of our group. Everyone’s input is valued, and our committee is built on collaboration and shared ideas.
