29 09 2023 Lovely to be joined yesterday by The Squirrels at 3/5 Sea Scouts Lancing for a litter pick. They worked so hard and it is very encouraging to see youngsters getting involved and boosting their local Nature and Environment in this way. Big thanks to Nutkin and Badger for organising....
18 08 2023 Keep Lancing Lovely are Station Partners at Lancing Railway Station with Southern Trains. Planters, beds and small gardens are maintained there. We greatly enjoy doing this as we know that it gives a bit of a "lift" to passengers, those walking by and residents
Increasingly we are putting in perennial plants and small shrubs as we seek to be as sustainable as possible and use our volunteering time effectively. This transition is going to take a couple of years. Annuals will still be used particularly for our "trains" in the southern gateside and north of platform 1
If you have plants that you would like to donate for the station or an hour or so a week to join the volunteers, please get in touch

Wonderful to see the artwork about Keep Lancing Lovely by Amanda Beck being placed at The Community Hub in the Lancing Parish Hall. Amanda came along to watch what we do as we litter pick, to get a sense of the very wide range of our supporters and how we keep the environment and creatures there safe – the result is this beautiful creation!
A big “thank you” to Amanda and Lancing Parish Council, please pop down to The Community Hub to see it!
