“Big House Jazz”

Join us for an evening of fun with live jazz in The Old Workshop with snacks, wine & soft drinks available for purchase.

Each month, you’ll find a different band reimagining jazz, keeping its roots alive and kicking while, maybe, giving it a modern makeover. New guest artists will join us every month, bringing fresh sounds and making sure the energy never stops.

The National Garden Scheme
Founded in 1927 by the Queen’s Nursing Institute to raise funds for community nursing means that gardens, health and community are at the heart of what we do at the National Garden Scheme. Every ticket bought, every garden visited, and every cake and cup of tea savoured translates into millions of pounds in donations not only to some of the UK’s best loved nursing and health charities but to garden charities and community projects too.

In 2022 we made donations of 3.11 million. Beneficiaries include Marie Curie, Macmillan Cancer Support and Parkinson’s UK.

Visit https://ngs.org.uk for more information about the work of the National Garden Scheme, to search for gardens opening in your area or to find out how to open your own garden for the National Garden Scheme.

UKHarvest Community Food Hub @ Chanctonbury Leisure Centre
Jul 22 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

UKHarvest Community Food Hubs

ALL residents are welcome to visit the child-friendly Community Food Hubs that are designed to reduce food waste. The Hubs also offer recipes and host information stands and visitors to support on various subjects; budgeting, wellbeing, Citizens Advice and waste prevention.

For a small voluntary donation, residents will be able to bring their own bag to pick up a wide selection of surplus foods (largely fresh fruit & veg, bread, dried goods and some frozen) which would have otherwise ended up as waste from suppliers.

Thanks to an ongoing successful collaboration with West Sussex County Council (WSCC), UKHarvest have designed ‘Fight Against Food Waste’. A print and downloadable booklet offering support to all wanting to reduce food waste at home – www.ukharvest.org.uk. With Storrington Community Food Hub taking place once a month, we would like Storrington residents to come along and collect their copy.

All dates and details and more information is posted on both UKHarvest and the WSCC webpages: www.ukharvest.org.uk/community & www.westsussex.gov.uk/UKHarvest
