Thank you so much for all that you have done over the past year. The generosity of our supporters in the run-up to Christmas was, as always, amazing, with so many donations given to help families celebrate Christmas.

As we return and face the realities of the New Year, I know that FSW, like many of us, will continue to experience challenging times, with funding becoming tighter and the needs of families growing.

I hope that together we can continue to ensure that families and children across Sussex who need FSW are able to receive the support they deserve, as we work together for the future of children and families.

I know it is only a couple of weeks since Christmas, but I would ask you to keep an eye out for emails from FSW over the coming weeks as we prepare to launch our Lent appeal. We won’t be asking you to give anything up, but instead to consider taking something on, so that together we can continue to support families and anyone who needs FSW.

With my very best wishes to you for 2026,
Martin and the FSW Team
