Make sure you come along for one of these informative and fun sessions on Sat 20th June…

Session 1 (9:30-11am) is for men who want to support the women in their life and ask ‘those’ questions. It won’t be embarrassing and you will earn a load of ‘brownie points’ from your significant other for coming – they will even throw in a bacon and sausage butty!

Session 2 (11:30am – 13:00) is for women who want to be more empowered and inspired! (light lunch included as is a chance to ask more questions and get to know one another)

Session 3 (14:30-16:00) is for employers, carers and those supporting women at this sometimes tricky, time of life. The law is changing and employers have to show they have had some kind of awareness training, so get your certificate here!

Wealden Volunteering have been matching volunteers with local charities for more than 30 years and they’re inviting the community to celebrate volunteering at a special summer event.

The Volunteer Picnic & Funday will take place on Saturday, June 6, during National Volunteers’ Week, at Heathfield Community Centre, Sheepsetting Lane, from 12pm to 4pm.

The event aims to raise awareness of the charity’s work, celebrate volunteers everywhere, and encourage more people to get involved with local good causes. In 2025, the charity placed 409 adult and youth volunteers with local organisations — a 62% increase on 2024.

Visitors are encouraged to bring a blanket and picnic and settle in for the afternoon. There will be entertainment from local music and theatre groups, face painting, charity stalls, games and fun activities.

Food and refreshments will also be available, including a local pizza truck, an ice cream van, and a café run by the charity, stocked with items donated by local businesses.

Organisers are also hoping the event will help raise funds to keep the charity’s office running, which is staffed entirely by volunteers.

A spokesperson said: “This will be a real community event, celebrating all volunteers and all things volunteering. We’d love people to come along, enjoy the afternoon, and find out more about how they can make a difference locally.”
