Funding our initiatives

Restoring our Victorian Street Tree Heritage

We are in the process of developing a campaign aimed at helping to restore our Victorian street tree heritage. We intend to set up a separate working group within the Society that will take this work forward.  

We expect this campaign to last for many years – the speed at which we can progress will ultimately depend on donations we receive.

To start the ball rolling Hove Civic Society will be donating £1000 from its own funds. Our approximate target per year is about £10,000.

Public Sculpture Fund

We have been able to recruit a few members of the society willing to progress this fund. The objective is to promote public sculpture in Hove and to fund public sculpture that has a strong relevance to people living and working in Hove.

Initially, we need to understand the council's permissions and requirements, then we can develop one or several themes, eventually resulting in a sculpture trail. We intend to work with Hove Arts and local artists.

We will probably wish to start with one work a year, possibly commissioned by competition.
