Welcome to
Good Company Headquarters (HQ)
Good Company Headquarters, or HQ, is our welcoming community hub in the heart of Crowborough.
Located in the former Chappells Pharmacy, next to Saxonbury House Medical Centre, HQ is somewhere you can drop in for information, friendly conversation and support. You might be looking to meet new people, find local activities, learn more about dementia or caring, or simply enjoy a cup of tea and a chat.
At the heart of HQ is our Concierge service. We take the time to get to know you and help you discover the people, places and opportunities that are right for you.
There are no referrals, waiting lists or complicated forms. It starts with a friendly conversation about what matters to you.
Whether you are looking for support for yourself or someone you care about, or you simply want to find out more about Good Company, we would love to see you.
What is Good Company HQ?
Over the past couple of months, the community has really come together to bring this space to life. Local businesses, volunteers and supporters have rolled up their sleeves, helping with everything from flooring and lighting to painting, electrics and installing a kitchen.
The former pharmacy has been transformed into a warm and welcoming HQ.
We hope this already well loved space will feel like somewhere you can come in, sit down, and spend time in good company.
A place just to come in
Good Company HQ will be somewhere anyone can walk in without an appointment. Whether you are a member, a volunteer, supporting someone else, or simply curious about what is available locally, you will be welcome.
It is a place to have a cup of tea, ask a question, find out what is going on, or just sit and take a moment.

A place for support an connection
HQ will be a base for our team, including Amanda as Member Support Lead, alongside our volunteer Concierge Hosts.
There will be space for conversations, access to computers and information, and a calm area where people can talk things through and get practical support. It is designed to make it easier to find the right help, at the right time, in a way that feels manageable.

A place people can use
This is not just an office. It is a shared space for the community.
There will be seating areas, tables, notice boards, and simple resources that people can use. A place where volunteers can spend time, where conversations can happen naturally, and where people can feel comfortable coming back to again and again.

News and updates from HQ
Follow what is happening at Good Company HQ as the space takes shape and our doors open.
We share updates from the renovation, our local heroes involved, and what is coming next as this becomes a shared
place the community can use and enjoy.
Volunteering at HQ
Volunteers are at the heart of making HQ a welcoming, everyday space.
We are looking for people who enjoy being around others and can offer a warm welcome, make a cup of tea, or spend time chatting. Some volunteers may also support our Concierge team, helping people find information or think through next steps.
We are also looking for volunteer drivers to help members get to and from HQ and activities.
You do not need specialist experience. Kindness, reliability and a willingness to be there for others matter most.
Volunteering can be regular or occasional, and we will provide training and support.
If you are interested in getting involved, we would love to hear from you.
Our HQ, Made By Our Community
So many people from the community have given their time and energy to help bring HQ to life.
From painting and lifting to practical problem solving, this space carries the effort of people who have simply stepped forward and got involved. This is a chance to recognise those contributions and say thank you.
