Redwood Centre

My Son is a cub at 10th Haywards Heath Scouts group. He loves going, along with many others.

In re developing this site, you are making a big mistake, for the community of today and the future.

The Redwood Centre is the base from which we serve the local community - providing fun, adventure and skills training to 120 young people each week.

In addition, it’s the HQ for Mid Sussex District Scouts and provides a vital events, training and education facility for volunteers across the District and wider County, as well as a venue for AGMs; quiz nights; presentations; fundraising events; Scout competitions; hike and expedition training and much more. It’s also houses a nursery 7am-6pm; a church on Sundays and is available for private hire. It is operating at near capacity and is a successful, multi-use facility and valuable community resource.

In short, The Redwood Centre is a thriving community hub, often in use seven days a week, helping to make a real difference to young people and their families not just in Haywards Heath, but across Mid Sussex.

We need your support to raise awareness of the value of this community building and the benefit that Scouting brings to young people. And to ensure that The Redwood Centre is represented within the ‘Clair Hall site’ consultation as separate premises, with a distinct community purpose.
