Hassocks Fundraising

Hassocks Festive Light Trail this Christmas!

Building on the Infant School Art Week theme, ‘Let there be light,’ FoHis are offering two ways to share some seasonal sparkle.

This year 26 houses around Hassocks are getting their Christmas lights up and taking part in the Hassocks Infants Festive Light Trail. Each house will have a clue displayed, and if you get all the clues you can complete the sentence and win a prize. Answer sheets will be distributed to Hassocks Infant pupils at school and can be collected from QD Stationary too. Anyone can take part and enjoy the trail!

Three of the houses are from the Light Up Lockdown Hassocks Facebook group, who are also encouraging people to spread a little joy by illuminating their houses and sharing pictures of their Christmas lights online. They hope to spread some festive cheer in these very strange times. Take part in the Hassocks Infants Festive Light Trail between the 1st - 19th December (or as lockdown allows) and hand in your completed answer sheets for £2 and get a prize on the 19th at the Hassocks Shop Local Christmas Event (we’ll be here at the United Reform Church).

We are also asking people of Hassocks to draw a ‘light up’ picture and put it in their windows to take part from home! If you want to support Your local infant school you can do so here www.justgiving.com/fundraising/fohischristmas or follow us @fohis @hassocks_infants_school_pta or fohisgroup@gmail.com.

Little Princess fundraises

Five-year-old Penelope West has been fundraising for the NHS. She and her mum were inspired by a friend’s little boy. He had walked ten miles around East Grinstead, and they decided to do something similar. “We wanted to do whatever we could to help in the current crisis,” explained Penelope’s mum, Natalie. They walked lots of different routes around Hassocks and found some amazing new paths to explore. To add to the challenge, each day Penelope decided how she wanted to dress up.
