Friends of Eastbourne Seafront are committed to campaigning to ensure that Eastbourne's seafront is restored and maintained to the highest standard and that the assets along the seafront are open, accessible and affordable.

 

We ran the successful Save the Seafront Public Toilets campaign. To save money the Council wanted to close the seafront toilets, so we ran a campaign to make them change their mind and they did. Campaigning costs money for printing flyers and banners; renting rooms for meetings; paying for this website; public liability insurance; data protection licences; general stationery etc. The list goes on and on.

 

Our Welcome Team of volunteers was set up in 2023. Our volunteers are out and about along the seafront, 7 days per week between Easter to October, 10am and 4pm, welcoming visitors and locals, answering questions and giving out our free publications - the Welcome Guide, the Seafront Map and the Seafront Trail.

 

Our Gardening Team of volunteers look after the gardens at the Bandstand and by the Lifeboat museum and Shop, the beds along the seafront and Western lawns, the boat at Splashpoint and the children's cycle track. In 2025 the team moved further East and started work on the World’s Garden. Many visitors and locals comment on what an improvement the team’s hard work has brought.

 

New for 2026 is our Seafront Litter Picking Team, insuring the Seafront promenade and beach are kept free of litter.

​

New for 2025 was the Membership Discount Card, because we would like our members to offer something for their support. The card offers members a small discount at a variety of seafront shops, cafés, restaurants and services.  We are currently updating our Discount Card and will notify you about participating businesses shortly.
