Bringing together the Hawkhurst community with events and projects to help make Hawkhurst a great place to live
Friends of Hawkhurst, previously known as the Hawkhurst Community Trust 2018, was set up as an independent charity (No. 1180085) to improve community facilities in Hawkhurst.
We are focused on bringing our community together.
We organise an ongoing programme of popular community events, from children’s Christmas craft activities to a Makers’ and Crafters’ Fair.
We also have the hugely successful Hawkhurst Community Fridge under our umbrella, which saved over 30,000 kg of food waste and provided, free, over 70,000 meals worth of food.
