Earlier this month Henfield Leisure Centre received £500 funding, which was used to buy new equipment for children’s activities.

Tristia Clarke, commercial director at TalkTalk, said: “Investing in the local area allows us to bring our great value offers to even more families in Henfield and we are proud to be supporting Henfield Leisure Centre.

“They are in the heart of the community and we are delighted our donation will go towards new equipment”.

As part of its plans to expand its Next Generation Network TalkTalk is investing £50,000 in technology to bring the best value broadband offers to Henfield and the surrounding areas.
