Fairer World Lindfield celebrates after being highly commended in Mid Sussex Applauds

Fairer World Lindfield, a local climate action group, said its members received the honour at the Mid Sussex Applauds award on Sunday, March 24.

The group was nominated in the new category of Environment and Climate Champion.

A spokesperson said: “There were six contenders and Fairer World Lindfield received Highly Commended, coming second after winners Greener Hassocks & Ditchling. Well done to Greener Hassocks & Ditchling (formerly HKD Transition), which has been championing climate issues since 2010. It was a great event seeing so many local volunteers getting recognised for their community work in Mid Sussex.”

The group also said ‘a big thank you’ to Mid Sussex District Council for organising the awards.
