The vaccination centre is part of GP federation Alliance for Better Care and is now running vaccinations for over 75s as part of the national Spring Booster Campaign.

Charlie Price, one of the Clair Hall site leads, said: “We wanted to say a huge thank you to over 250 volunteers who have worked over 6,700 shifts, which is approximately 27,000 hours of volunteering.”

Charlie said the vaccination centre has an amazing range of volunteers from Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and the surrounding Mid Sussex villages.

“We absolutely wanted to celebrate all they have achieved, an operation we couldn’t have dreamt about two and a half years ago,” he said.

He added that Clair Hall is grateful to Alliance for Better Care, Mid Sussex District Council and Savannah for making this party possible.
