St. George’s day is officially this coming Tuesday 23rd April.

In the 15th century St. George’s day was a major feast and national holiday in England on a par with Christmas! The tradition of celebration faded by the end of the 18th century after the union of England and Scotland.

Nevertheless, St. George’s day was celebrated in style today. Click below to hear more from the High Street, Horley and Queen Square, Crawley.

We visited St Catherine’s Hospice new facility at Pease Pottage and spoke with their incredible team. The interviews cover:

The background of St Catherine’s Hospice and their new facility.

Hearing memorable stories and how the team make an incredible difference to the patients in their care – patients in the hospice AND those receiving care at home.

Understanding the wide range of services the hospice provides and how this has changed over time as medical conditions have shifted.

We also hear from one of the 800 volunteers and how the community can support St Catherine’s Hospice in donating funds, volunteering time, joining one of the upcoming events (The Midnight Walk) or simply dropping in a bunch of flowers for the public areas – all massively appreciated.

Incredible services Crawley Open House provides to our community. Ian shows us behind-the-scenes in a series of interviews covering:

Crawley Open House Background.

The Resource Centre which opened 18months ago.

The story of Daniel, one of the residents.

Natalie’s business, who sponsored the lunch for that day.

How you can support by donating funds, items of food/clothes or volunteer your time or by getting your running shoes on and joining the 10k Gatwick Run on the 12th May.

Todays world is extremely challenging, from financial pressures, relationship issues and addictions through to bereavement, illness or being a new Dad.

Sometimes we can feel it’s all too much!!

It’s great to have Sean back on SUSY and in this interview he discusses the challenges Men encounter, shares what the menshare listening group is all about and we hear from a man who took the first step to attend and has since massively benefitted, despite being super cynical at the start.

Hopefully, this will be of interest to you or a loved one, below the interview is a link to the menshare listening group website too, including phone number and meeting times etc…
