Donations
None of the work we do is possible without sufficient fund. Most
of the stiles, gates, causeways and signposts we make are based on green oak
for longevity. Although we give all our time for free, the materials for such
oak structures costs several hundred pounds.
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.

Sponsorship
We also offer the opportunity to sponsor a stile. Whether you’re looking for a unique gift for a walker in Mid Sussex, a memorial to a loved one, a promotional opportunity for a local business or club, or would just like to give back to the community, please contact us to find out more.
Volunteering
Want to lend a hand and help to make the Sussex countryside more accessible for all to enjoy? Why not volunteer with the Monday Group? We are an inclusive organisation and would actively welcome a more diverse range of volunteers to support our work. However, be aware we primarily only meet on Monday mornings
As of late 2025, we are unfortunately unable to take more volunteers as all teams are fully manned. Anyone who wishes to send us their details (use the Contact Us form) will be added to a waiting list and contacted when we are back in the position to welcome new volunteers
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, almost all our work is done on Monday mornings (we also have a small team specialising on gates on a Tuesday morning) 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.
