RESIDENTS across the county are being urged to consider becoming foster carers during Foster Care Fortnight.
With more than 70 children currently waiting for a family, East Sussex County Council is using this year’s national awareness campaign, from May 9 to May 22, to encourage more people to consider joining the fostering community.
Foster carers can transform the lives of children and young people by offering a safe and loving home.
EAST SUSSEX Libraries will be running a series of events across the county during May half term to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Free events include Jubilee themed Rhymetime and Storytime sessions, crown making craft workshops and author led storytelling events.
FREE life-saving suicide intervention and prevention training is being offered to taxi drivers in Eastbourne and Seaford.
The Taxi Watch programme, operated by the suicide prevention and awareness charity Talk To Tom, teaches professional drivers how to spot the signs of a person suffering through a suicide crisis, how to react, and how to get the person to safety.
A RE-WILDING project at County Hall in Lewes has seen the creation of a wild garden along with the installation of swift nesting boxes.
A tranquil garden has been created by the council’s Property team from a disused area next to one of the car parks in the council office complex.
