Our Community
As an amenity group, The Friends of Brunswick Square & Terrace work closely with Brighton and Hove City Council, as well as with other community groups and stakeholders in our area. We are connected to the other residents associations and groups in Brunswick Town through the Brunswick Town Association.
Brighton & Hove Green Spaces Forum (BHGSF) is a volunteer organisation set up to provide an independent voice and communication hub for community groups working in Brighton & Hove’s parks and open spaces. It seeks to bring together volunteer groups concerned with the management of Brighton & Hove green spaces to exchange information, advice and knowledge; communicating and working in partnership with similar groups and organisations to maximise environmental improvement and conservation.
The Friends of Palmeira & Adelaide (FOPA) is a residents association open to all who reside in the area. The Friends of Palmeira and Adelaide was established in 1997 as a residents association to improve the environment and amenities of Palmeira Mansions, Palmeira Square and Adelaide Crescent. The aims of the association are to act for the residents in preserving and improving the buildings, gardens and general amenity of the area. We also arrange social activities such as a Christmas party, Summer party and Coffee mornings.
The Waterloo Street Community Garden is a community based project that maintains the garden built between The Old Market and the Waterloo Street Arch. Volunteers from the residents around The Old Market (TOM) give up their valuable time to weed, plant, prune, water and generally maintain the garden.
Founded in 1960, Hove Civic Society became a registered charity in 1995, its object to stimulate community interest in the beauty, history and character of Hove and its surroundings. The HCS are responsible for erecting the Hove Plinth and maintain the changing sculptures it holds.
