Throughout December, we have been partaking in tree festivals across East Sussex. We would like to thank so many of you for such an overwhelming response to our Remembrance Robins. We have received so much feedback and have loved the reception to them from you all.

We would like to gently remind you that if you still haven't collected your Remembrance Robin from us that you may do so now in time for Christmas, or until the end of February.

Thank you to Hospice in the Weald for welcoming some of our team into the Hospice in the Weald Tunbridge Wells store on Friday last week for International Volunteer Day. We were grateful for the opportunity to support where help was needed - processing donations from many of your stores and drop-off points.

You were all so welcoming, and we look forward to continuing to work with you and other hospices that do the fantastic work and loving care you provide all the people that you work with.

International Volunteer Day - 5th December

Today, we celebrate the incredible impact of volunteers worldwide. At Heathfield Funeral Service and C. Waterhouse & Sons, we know the importance of giving back, not just through our services but by supporting our communities in every way we can.

Volunteering isn’t just a one-day event; some of our dedicated team will be out volunteering today and, in the weeks, to come, contributing to causes close to our hearts. From charity events to local support initiatives, we're proud to be part of a movement that truly makes a difference.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who give their time, energy, and love. You’re the heart of our communities, and we’re so grateful for you!
