Thanks to all our customers who came to “Light Up Hassocks”. It was a great night for the village, and the charity, as we took over £400 in just a few hours. We’ve now almost sold out of our Christmas gifts!
Don’t forget it is “Light Up Hassocks” this Friday 25th November. We will be open late and have many wonderful stocking fillers and Christmas gifts for sale. And of course, we will be giving out glasses of wine and nibbles to all our customers.

You may remember that last Autumn one of our volunteers, Stephanie, accompanied me on a visit to our projects in Romania. When she returned she made an Appeal for extra funds, and so far has raised almost £800. We have already spent £200 helping Vis de Copil buy play equipment for their Mother and...
Providenta Divina were able to give Christmas shoeboxes to many families living in real poverty. The shoeboxes came from Link to Hope, based in Worthing, so many thanks to them.
Thanks to a very generous donation from the café next door, Proper Cycling and Coffee, we were able to provide winter fuel and food for our elderly ladies in Petrila. It is a real lifeline for them, as many cannot afford to buy wood and they do not have central heating in their makeshift...
