St Wilfrid's Hospice
We were delighted to support SERV Sussex in 2019 and 2020 and we were amazed by their volunteer work so we have decided to support them for a third year!
SERV SUSSEX is a volunteer run, publicly funded charity who transport urgent and emergency blood & blood products, human donor breast milk, medication and medical equipment to Sussex hospitals. Free of charge to the NHS. Volunteers are on call 365 nights a year from 7pm to 6am, as well as 24 hour bank holiday and weekend cover. This includes Christmas day and New years day.
The Judge Zone
Willingdon hasn't had a Scarecrow Festival before so we are not sure where the most residents will be that are interested in supporting the new Willingdon Scarecrow Festival that's why we may not have covered all of Willingdon.
We will be judging the following areas and anything inbetween:
- Willingdon from the Church Street Junction with the A2270 to Seven Sisters Road
- Lower Willingdon (Up to Eastbourne Road and anything Willingdon side of Broad Road)
Please Note: You are able to enter either the Polegate or Willingdon Scarecrow Festival if your entry is located between Wannock Road and Broad Road
Don't forget we are also running the Polegate Scarecrow Festival which includes Wannock!
