Our vision

The REC has a history of bringing people together. We believe Horsham deserves a space that supports wellbeing, local culture, and the town centre economy. This campaign is about exploring reuse options and building a viable community-led proposal alongside local partners.

All-ages, inclusive

Affordable, supervised activities for young people and families.

Supports local economy

Footfall for the town centre and opportunities for independents.

Reduces dereliction

Active spaces discourage antisocial behaviour and decay.

What we’re asking for

This is not an anti-development campaign. We support regeneration that reflects local needs. We’re asking the Council to explore a practical alternative that restores community value.
