Hope this Spring edition finds you all well and looking forward to the onset of better weather.  We have enjoyed and celebrated some special days already this year,  Valentine’s, St. David’s Day, Pancakes on Shove Tuesday, Dame Vera Lynn’s 100th Birthday and Comic Relief to name but a few. 
You will see from the pictures below our tribute to Vera Lynn.  We were very lucky to have an entertainer “Brian Shaw” who actually sang to Vera during her birthday celebrations.
We also watched a Spring Production by Full Beams entertainers.  This involved a mixture of songs, dancing including ballet, tap dance and some acrobatics.  Which drew gasps from the audience.
We are looking forward to starting some gardening projects and enjoying the sunshine outside.

​Margaret at Sussex Support Service and 7 of her friends have taken on the mammoth task of walking the South Coast Challenge this summer.
 
They hope to raise over £2800 for the Alzheimer's’ Society & Prostate Cancer UK in talking on this incredibly tough challenge of walking 100k leaving Eastbourne early Saturday 26th August and finishing in Arundel on the morning of Sunday 27th August. The walk will be across all sorts of terrain and all through the night.  Training began in January and all are working hard towards getting ready for the challenge ahead.
 
You can support the ‘One Trek Minds Team on their Just Giving page: www.justgiving.com/teams/onetrekminds
or Margaret has a sponsor form in the office.
 
If you would like to know more about our services, please contact us on 01825 760176                 or visit our website at www.sussexsupportservice.com
