Student Art Installation at Redhill Station

On 20th November there was a short reception at Redhill station, an event held to thank a student from Redhill College who accepted a challenge to create a stunning piece of recently installed artwork. A competition organised by the East Surrey Arts Society invited students to submit a design.
This particular artwork was chosen not only because it is a very clever, eye-catching design but also because it ties in perfectly with the 200 years of Railway celebrations which start in January 2025.
Dave King was there to cover the proceedings. He began by talking to Sharon Gray, the Community Rail Development Officer.
Artist – Molly McCarthy: Young Artist and creator of artwork installation (student at Redhill Art College)

A charity working with the homeless and vulnerable in the East Surrey area has been selected for The King’s Award for Voluntary Service. 

Renewed Hope in Redhill is one of nine voluntary groups in the county to receive the Award which is seen as the equivalent of an MBE. 

Renewed Hope has three main projects; its drop-in support service, a winter night shelter which runs in church halls from December to March, and also Hope House – a 4-bed house offering supported accommodation to homeless people needing help to prepare for permanent accommodation. 

The winners will be presented with their award in the coming months; two representatives from each group will be invited to a garden party reception at Buckingham Palace next summer.
