Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the recent lifting of restrictions!

Here is a link to a fundraisers brand new documentary on Youtube, “The Telscombe Hauntings”. The film follows three ghost hunters from Chichester, Geoff, Vince and Don, as they investigate the remote and reportedly haunted village of Telscombe.

The film was shot intensively over three days, involving night shoots in the darkened village, just as restrictions eased, then edited over 48 hours, so it’s hot off the press! We’ve just found out that it’s up for Best Documentary at Gloucester’s Fortean Film Festival.

If you enjoy the production, Steven would be really grateful if you’d consider donating to the Sussex MS Centre, a link to the Just Giving page is below. The Centre has done amazing work supporting people with MS throughout lockdowns, including providing oxygen when it’s needed. Thank you. Steven Lancefield

The following classes (some new, others already up-and-running) will all take place in our Covid-safe gym (maximum of 5/6 members). If the classes advertised fill up there will be another session running directly afterwards (dependent on sufficient demand of course).

If you are interested in attending any of them, please email us on info@mssussex.com or ring us on 01273-594484 to discuss and book. Please note that classes are no longer Drop -in.

Please help us raise funds for the Centre by joining in with the Captain Tom 100 Challenge!

Following the outpouring of heartfelt messages since the death of Captain Sir Tom Moore on 2 February, his family pledged to celebrate his life with an event that everyone, in the UK and around the world, could be involved in. That event is the Captain Tom 100 and Sussex MS Centre is proud to be inviting our supporters to take part.
Captain Tom 100 offers Sussex MS Centre supporters, of all ages and abilities, the opportunity to raise crucial funds for our charity, while at the same time celebrating Captain Tom’s generosity of spirit, the hope and joy he brought to millions, and his sense of fun.

How it works:
It’s so simple. All participants need to do is dream up a Captain Tom 100 challenge based around the number 100 and do it at anytime and anywhere over Captain Tom’s birthday weekend – starting on Friday 30 April through to Bank Holiday Monday 3 May.

The challenge could be walking 100 steps or running 100 metres, scoring 100 goals, baking 100 cakes, climbing 100 stairs, hopping 100 laps of the garden, building 100 sandcastles, writing a 100-word poem, flipping 100 pancakes – anything at all, inside or out.
Once supporters have chosen their challenge, they can fundraise or donate to Sussex MS Centre share their 100 on social media, using #CaptainTom100.
