Racing through the year with certain dates as markers can be challenging! Already we have sent out books for World Book Day to our children, mums are getting Mothering Sunday presents now and next week the Easter Eggs will start to go! This means that we are already a third of the way through the year.Time definitely appears to speed up year on year. More important though is the generous support that you all keep giving us. All these gifts that have gone out really do make a difference and are only possible because of you.

With the Easter Holidays rapidly approaching we are pleased to be heading to Arundel Cricket ground again to spend the day with the Cricket Foundation. The families really enjoy their time there with activities based around sport and forest school. This is real change for some of the families who rarely get to play in open spaces. There are also farm visits to feed lambs, activity days and a host of other things all planned across Sussex to ensure that our families have the best of holidays.

We are pleased that we have appointed an assistant practitioner for the Midhurst and Petworth Deaneries, who will join us on the 2nd of April. This appointment was made possible because of a very generous donor who has undertaken to support the work. This additional resource in these Deaneries will be a great benefit and we are very grateful to the individual concerned.

With best wishes for Easter and many thanks for your continued support.

Martin and the FSW team
