Interior designer Trish hopes to arrange links with Chestnut Tree House children’s hospice in Poling to see how she can help them.

Speaking to the Gazette, she said: “We really want to support the community as much as we can because that’s one of the things we love about being in Rustington – its great sense of community.”

The shop is Trish and Matt’s first business together, with Matt having been a private decorator for about 30 years.
