A partnership of organisations is asking businesses, schools, churches and individuals to collect items from a list of food needed to make up Christmas food hampers.

The hampers will be delivered to approximately 250 families and individuals in the Burgess Hill area in time for Christmas.

The groups organising the initiative include Burgess Hill District Lions Club, The King’s Church Mid Sussex, Burgess Hill Community Food Bank, Burgess Hill Town Council and Burgess Hill Youth.

Sussex Clubs for Young People will be also providing support with their Purple Bus to assist with the transportation of food.
