Donations
None of the work we do is possible without sufficient funds – and the materials for even a single stile cost approximately £220. Making a donation online or by cheque is possibly the easiest way to support us, and all donations go straight into our work – helping to maintain easy access to the Sussex countryside around Ditchling and beyond.

Join the Monday Group
Perhaps the best feature of the Monday Group is that everyone involved is committed to the work and empowered to get on with it.
We have a formal membership structure and ask for a very modest membership fee to cover group insurance.
We are always keen to welcome new volunteers, especially those who can support us with clearance tasks, but space issues mean workshop vacancies rarely come up.
As our name suggests, all our work is done on Monday mornings so we cannot accommodate volunteers unable to join at that time.
Stiles & Structures
Our structures teams build and install our stiles, bridges, steps, causeways, waymark posts and benches.
Clearance Work
Our biggest groups are the
Clearance teams of men and women who work on a Monday morning to keep local
public rights-of-way accessible and clear of intruding vegetation.
