Burgess Hill One Stop Support Shop launches at new central location
Burgess Hill Town Council is working in partnership with leading community groups to provide a welcoming space where residents can access support, advice, and social connection.
The Burgess Hill One Stop Support Shop will take place on the following dates:
Thursday 21 May
Thursday 18 June
Thursday 16 July
The event will now be held at the Market Place Shopping Centre, offering a more central and accessible location for residents.
The initiative brings together a range of local organisations under one roof, making it easier for residents to find the help they need. Participating groups include:
Burgess Hill & District Pantry, supporting residents on lower incomes with access to food
Burgess Hill Youth, offering weekly youth clubs and support for young carers, including school holiday activities
Befriended, a local charity focused on reducing social isolation
Kate Miller, Shopping Centre manager of Market Place Shopping said: “Market Place Shopping Centre are delighted to support Burgess Hill Town Council and their One Stop Support Shop, which provides valuable support, guidance, and advice to the local community.”
Claire from the Pantry added: “The One Stop Support Shop offers an opportunity for members of the community to access a wide range of support in an easy and accessible way. Everyone is welcome—and if we can’t help, we will know someone who can.”
Each session will run from 11:00am to 1:00pm.
Residents wishing to find out which organisations will be attending each month can contact the Town Council Help Point on the Monday of the relevant week. However, no booking is required—everyone is welcome to attend.
The Town Council is well placed to coordinate local groups and make it easier for residents to access help and advice. While our Help Point in Church Walk already supports many people, this initiative goes a step further by offering face-to-face support at a regular monthly time. We are fortunate to have so many dedicated, often volunteer-led groups in our town, and bringing them together in one place will make a real difference.
