Turning the tide
The Help Our Kelp Restoration Project, Sussex Wildlife Trust
The Help Our Kelp restoration project has achieved a major milestone for marine conservation in Sussex. Trawling is no longer allowed over 300 km2 of Sussex coastline thanks to a new byelaw. This really is fantastic news and allows the kelp forest restoration to finally get underway. Sussex Wildlife Trust are determined to enable the kelp forest to restore and recover across this huge area of Sussex coast. Thank you to everyone who was supported the Help Our Kelp restoration project, Sussex Wildlife Trust will share this journey with our supporters, updating you on what is happening on the seabed over the coming years.

Meet Chestnut Tree House fundraiser, Amber Lilly The pandemic has certainly changed the world of fundraising, but what hasn’t changed is how your support makes a difference to charities like Chestnut Tree House. Thanks to you, children and young people with lifeshortening and life-threatening conditions across Sussex get the care and support they need. Last March, the world of a fundraiser drastically changed, as it did for many others. Of course, we were concerned as without donations and fundraising, children’s hospice care wouldn’t be possible. And it was clear that families needed care and support more than ever. But the support of the local business community has been overwhelming. People took on team challenges via Zoom, ran marathons in their gardens and climbed mountains on their stairs. I don’t know what the year ahead will look like, but Chestnut Tree House will continue to be there for local children and families. And that is thanks to your ongoing support.
