This is why a family brewing firm Hall & Woodhouse with pubs across Sussex has given nearly £1m to good causes in the past 25 years - and how Sussex World has played its part

Judging is now underway for this year's 2026 Community Chest Awards after a very high calibre set of applications from charities and good causes across Sussex - and beyond!

The annual cash giveaway is organised and sponsored by family brewers Hall & Woodhouse and this year marks the 25th anniversary of the event - with the largest grant fund to date worth £80,000.
