About your idea

Asset-based community development begins with the gifts of people and their capacity to organize to create the world they want to see’ ( ABCD Institute).” The group was approached by Facebook to be one of the groups involved as part of the awareness raising activities for their first garden at the Chelsea Flower show in 2019, which won Gold and saw Sara attending the show on press day to represent local food, community growing and projects using social media to make real change happen in their communities. The group Edible Eastbourne led by Sara and other local volunteers helped to establish the Eastbourne Food Partnership and was the first local group to plant edible landscaping in public parks and reintroduce a heritage Eastbourne apple variety to the public realm. After becoming a mum during the pandemic, the opportunity to work alongside communities through the Making it Happen project developed a deeper understanding of people and the importance of collaboration and empowerment in communities. Making It Happen focuses on working with residents to build on the good things in a community by supporting your ideas to become new projects or events that benefit your area.
