Please see our News Page >HERE< for full details, and >HERE< for the Powdermill Trust Website.

Coffee Mornings 

Our next will be held at the beautiful Church of St Oswald's Hooe on Saturday April 12th between 10:30 & 12:00.

At a recent Coffee Morning, we were joined by a representative from the Bexhill Food Bank and were pleased to make a £500 donation to this fantastic cause. You can see the photo of this on our News Page and learn more about the important work of the Bexhill Food Bank by clicking >HERE<


Community Litter Pick Saturday 5th April

We will be meeting at the Red Lion Car Park for a 10:00 start.  We have a limited supply of hi-viz jackets and gloves, but if you have your own, please bring them.


Would you like to get involved? 

As many of you know, HVCG was formed in early 2022 as an Unincorporated Association with a (brief!) written constitution, and with the aim to “encourage, promote, and support village activities”.  We hold Public Liability Insurance for the events which we organise such as the monthly coffee mornings, the biennial Open Gardens and the annual village litter pick and help at the annual Church Garden Party at St. Oswald’s.

Prior to the formation of HVCG the same group of people, with help from others in the village, organised the coffee mornings, previously held in the village hall, which began in 2017. Anyone who would like to help out at the coffee mornings on an ad hoc basis or provide a homemade cake is always welcome.



Our village is surrounded on two of its three sides by areas of Special of Special Scientific Interest, SSSI's. A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is a formal conservation designation. Usually, it describes an area that’s of particular interest to science due to the rare species of fauna or flora it contains - or even important geological or physiological features that may lie in its boundaries. SSSIs often contain important habitats such as grasslands, parkland, and woodland. In other words, these areas have high conservation value, and need to be protected.

There are many marked footpath walks in our area.  Most of these are over farmed land and where animals are often grazing, we ask that those who use them do not wander from the paths and to always keep your dogs on a lead.  Please take any dog poo home with you, as these can cause abortions in cattle and death in sheep. Please also take any litter away with you, do not light fires, and please care for nature just as much as we do that live in Hooe.
Thank you!
