Ricky’s Ltd – Charity Collection for Baby Bank & Beyond CIC

Ricky’s Ltd is collecting Christmas toys on behalf of Baby Bank and Beyond CIC…

They will distribute as Christmas gifts to children aged up to 10yrs across Wealden, who might not have a great Christmas due to poverty or being in the social care system…

I’m collecting anything a child might possibly like to unwrap at Christmas, such as toys, games, festive chocolates and sweets…the only criteria is that they need to be new…

Please spare anything, no matter how small, and help to share some love this festive season. You can drop off any donations to Ricky who is based opposite Sainsbury’s in Heathfield.

Thank you.

White Feather Funerals – Five Years Service to the Community

This month marks five years since White Feather Funerals first opened its doors in Heathfield, offering care and support to local families through some of life’s hardest moments.

In a message reflecting on the milestone, the team expressed gratitude to the community, saying they feel honoured to have walked alongside so many families over the years. “Every family we have served has shaped the business we are today,” they said. “We are deeply grateful for the trust placed in us and the opportunity to provide care with dignity and compassion.”

From the beginning, the funeral home’s aim has been to offer a truly personal service built on respect and understanding. Looking back on their first five years, they say they are humbled by the journey so far and hopeful for the future.

“Thank you for allowing us to care for your loved ones and for making us a part of your community,” the team added. “Here’s to many more years of care,” commented Lucy Atabey, Founder of White Feather Funerals
