The Polegate Memory Café, which going forward will now be known as Polegate Community Café, was first launched in June 2017, and the Hailsham Community Café was launched in November 2019.
The new Willingdon Community Café launches on Thursday June 23 between 2-4pm at Trinity Church, Coppice Avenue, Willingdon. This will continue to run on the fourth Thursday of every month and is supported by Haine & Son Funeral Directors.
