The North Sussex Branch of the NSPCC has raised vital funds for the charity, after arranging a fundraising collection in a Haywards Heath Supermarket.

The collection was held between Monday 15th – Saturday 20th April at the town’s Sainsbury’s store, raising a fantastic £1,517.11.

The money raised will help go towards local services, such as the charity’s School Service, which provides programmes such as Speak Out Stay Safe – a safeguarding programme consisting of assemblies and workshops, for children aged 5-11 years old.

The assemblies and workshops are delivered in an age-appropriate way, getting children to recognise abuse in all its forms. It helps them to understand that abuse is not the child’s fault, that they have a right to be safe, and how to get help from safe, trusted adults or the NSPCC’s Childline service.

Gemma Tupper, NSPCC Community Fundraising Manager for Sussex, said: “It’s absolutely fantastic that the North Sussex branch has managed to raise over £1,500 in a week! These vital funds will help go towards helping children keep safe.

“We would like to say a massive thank you for the support of everyone involved, including Sainsbury’s Haywards Heath, for allowing the collection to take place in their store.”
