Grant for Trinity: As well as receiving a generous grant for the roof repair Trinity Methodist Church, Broad Oak has been chosen to receive a grant of between £8,000 and £12,000 from Tesco’s Bags of Help. Their project is to provide the community with improved access and good quality seating in the churchyard, with outdoor classroom facilities/nature study area for Brede Primary School. The money comes from sale of plastic bags. The actual amount will depend on a public vote in the St Leonards or Bexhill Tesco’s stores between 31 October and 13 November. Please support them by shopping at Tesco’s in these 2 weeks and ask your friends and neighbours. You collect a token at the checkout to vote for Trinity’s scheme. Many thanks for your support.

Editor Urgently needed: is a request for an Editor for the Church Parish Magazine, which is 10 editions per year. Help and training will be offered and you will need to be able to use publisher and have this programme added to your computer at St George’s Church expense or they help fund a laptop for this purpose if required. Please contact Father Martin or one of the Church Wardens, Duncun Reid 01424 882412 or David Oliver 01424 883037 if you have the time to help. It will be gratefully appreciated by the Rector. St Michael’s Hospice have been shortlisted to win £25,000 through the Aviva Community Fund. If successful the grant will go towards a new eight seater minibus for the people they support in Day Services. The bus will enable them to provide free transport for individuals throughout Hastings and Rother, in particular those who live in less accessible rural areas. They currently struggle to offer our Day Services’ to people who desperately need them, because they can’t reach them or because they do not have their own transport. Help the Hospice help people with life-limiting illnesses to live as well as they can, for as long as they can. It’s easy to vote, simply visit www.stmichaelshospice.com/aviva. Voting will remain open until Friday 18th November. It has been a year of positive changes for the Hospice, with the return home to the newly refurbished building, something that would not have been possible without the fantastic support of the communities across Hastings and Rother.“It has been wonderful having our In-Patient Unit return to the Hospice site; a real source of pleasure and satisfaction. Moving forward, we are looking to developing our work in the community, including increasing our support for end of life care in Nursing Homes and expanding our Re-enablement and Fitness Service.

I would like to wish: everyone a wonderful festive season, full of cheer and joy, followed by a prosperous and happy New Year. And, once again, thank you all, from everyone here at the Hospice. We look forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary with you all next year.” Celia Pyke-Lees, Chief Executive. Last year the Hospice supported over 1,000 people across Hastings and Rother, including 261 in-patients, 809 patients receiving Hospice at Home care and 221 people receiving bereavement support. As the services grow, the support from the community is continuously valued by the Hospice.
