Physical Activity Provision Survey
In partnership with Lewes Town Council, Peacehaven Town Council, Seaford Town Council, Telscombe Town Council and the Public Health Directorate Wave Leisure are conducting a short survey with local residents on their views about health and physical activity provision within the area and where they think priorities should lie.
This 5 minute survey is to supplement existing national and regional data, so that we can identify what priorities should be set on a town by town basis.
If you, your friends, colleagues or customers are resident within Lewes District, could we ask you to either complete the survey or pass the link on so that as many people as possible are able to contribute to the consultation as possible.
This consultation will close in about the 24th April

Tuesday gardening sessions are starting back on Tuesday the 6th March, there will be a wildlife theme but we will also be planting vegetables and flowers in the plots around the garden so there should be something for everyone! Please see flyer below and attached for more information. It would be great if you could join us every week but if you have other commitments and can only attend as and when we’d still love to see you. You can meet us at the garden or join us at the Hillcrest Centre for a lift in the mini bus. Please let me know if and when you are planning on coming so that I can make sure we have enough cake to go round!
There is also an upcoming cookery course that my colleague is organising. It starts 6th March, but there are still a few places left to fill. Please contact me ASAP if you would like to book a place. If you are interested in cookery courses there are a range of other courses coming up so please let me know and I can send you more information.

Did you know that the new Pensions Bill, now being discussed in Parliament, could mean that women born between December 1953 and October 1954 will have to wait for another 18 months or more to get their pension - and they could lose up to £10,000 each?
