A HUGE THANK YOU...

To everyone who donated food, snacks and cleaning products for our FSW Family Support Work collection this last month!

As you see from this photo there was EIGHT bags and a box! These are taking back to F.S.W.'s premises and then distributed to the families who are really struggling at this time.

‼️WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP!! ‼️

As some of you know we support FSW Family Support Work, which helps children and their families in Sussex who are struggling.

One of the ways we help is donating items to their "food bank": tinned fruit and veg, tinned meat and fish, dried pastas, sauces, jams and marmalade, salt, pepper and other condiments, cereals, and, at this time, snacks, and the like are very much appreciated.

This photo shows how low F.S.W.'s stocks are at their premises.

The summer school holiday period is always particular hard for struggling families with children off school when more food is needed, but some families simply do not have the money to buy the extra.

IF YOU CAN HELP BY DONATING EVEN JUST A FEW ITEMS IT WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED BY THE FAMILIES IN DESPERATE NEED.

(PLEASE NOTE: We cannot accept fresh/chilled/frozen or "homemade" food, and please check everything is in date.)

You can donate items at St. Anne's Church on:

SUNDAY 9 a.m. until 12 p.m.* (we will be having a service between 10 a.m. and 11:15, but you can leave items just inside the door).

MONDAY TO FRIDAY 9:15 to 9:45 a.m.*

* Unfortunately the Church is closed outside these times due to some essential maintenance work being completed.

DO YOU NEED AN (OCCASIONAL) REHEARSAL OR CONCERT VENUE?

Have you considered a church?

St. Anne's regularly plays host to concerts and other events throughout the year, both from local choirs and orchestras to those from further afield.

The Festival of Song concerts, Lewes BaroqueFest, plus the monthly lunchtime concerts are all at St. Anne's. Last December Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra used St. Anne's as one of the venues for its sell out "A Christmas Carol" evening featuring Alistair McGowan.

The Church can seat 200 people comfortably with both pews and seats (although some pews have restricted view). Plus there is standing room at the back. We have excellent acoustics, but a sound system is available if required.

Situated in the town (almost opposite the Pelham Arms) there are bus stops next to/opposite the church for both Brighton and Uckfield/Crowborough/ Tunbridge Wells. The railway station is a 10 minute walk away. There is nearby on-street parking and behind the church the car park of the headquarters of the County Council is available for free in the evenings. We also have a disabled ramp for easy access.

Although we a church in a town we look like a traditional village church with the surrounding graveyard (still in use).

WANT TO MAKE YOUR EVENT MORE SPECIAL? We have a modern kitchen for food preparation, with an induction hob, eye-level oven and a microwave is available if required. So food and drink can be provided to your guests (you will need to arrange your own licence if selling alcohol). If you need caterers we can recommend a firm.

If you would like more information, then please contact Ashley Price, Churchwarden at: [email protected]
