Energise Sussex Coast is a non profit renewable energy cooperative working to reduce energy inequality through community energy projects and energy advice and events. With the cost of living and energy fuel prices continuing to rise, and the withdrawal of the winter fuel allowance for most pensioners, we’d like to offer talks to church communities – to help them reduce their bills this winter, as well as to help them make the transition to low carbon.

Also our advice is impartial and there is no selling. We can offer a range of topics and make them interactive with games and even some freebie light bulbs etc.

If you think this is something that individual churches might take up, I wonder if we could have an article in your newsletter before the winter gets underway? If you’d like to talk it through, please could you give me a call on 07464599460.

My best regards,
Helen

Eastbourne Borough Council has begun a consultation over a range of savings proposals including:

• Public toilets: moving to a community toilet scheme. This would involve identifying toilets available for public use across Eastbourne and closing most council-owned public toilets.
  
• Street cleansing: focussing activity on areas with higher footfall.
  
• Grounds maintenance: focussing on core activities and seeking community support in other areas.
  
• Customer services: slightly reducing our face-to-face and telephone operating hours.
  
• Car parks: reviewing charges and hours of operation.
  
• Sovereign Centre: considering reducing the number of pools available whilst protecting swimming lessons, school swimming and structured sessions such as lane swimming. We are also looking at different uses for the spaces such as soft play, a climbing wall or greater gym capacity.
  
• Community grants: reducing our budget for grants to our voluntary sector partners (including Rent Support Grants) after April 2025.
  
• Eastbourne Town Hall: explore ways to reduce the costs and consider alternative uses for the building.
  
• The Splash Pad at Princes Park: identify options for future sponsorship for it to remain open.
  

We would value your support in publicising the consultation and particularly welcome responses from churches in Eastbourne.

The consultation runs until 5pm on Thursday, October 31. Further information can be found in the announcement email below or on our website www.lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk/EBCsavingsconsultation

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or my manager, Bryn Mabey (bryn.mabey@lewes-eastbourne.gov.uk).

What does the Bible really say about sexuality? Is it good news for all of us? How can we support those who experience same-sex attraction to stay faithful to Jesus and flourish?

Join us as we explore these questions and more, offering a positive biblical vision and practical steps forward for Christians seeking to show Christ-like love to everybody.

The Living Out team will engage with our culture, share from the Bible, tell their stories, apply to church life and answer your questions. We’d love to see you there!

Living Out is delighted to be bringing you this event, and it is open to all Christians. While there are opportunities on the day to ask questions about what the Bible teaches in this area, those speaking are committed to the Evangelical Alliance’s biblical and pastoral position with respect to homosexuality, summarised in these affirmations. The focus of the event will be how we can uphold these truths and love and serve same-sex attracted people in our churches and society.

We will be running a Coffee Morning on Thursday 10th October between 10.00 am and 1.00 pm at Victoria Baptist Church, Eldon Road, BN21 1UE.

Andy’s Army was set up in memory of Andrew Holter who lost his battle with Mental Health in June this year. Andy was known by so many people in and around Eastbourne and offered so much support to anyone he felt needed it.

Cherie – Andy’s wife, and I are working hard to honour Andy by raising awareness as much as possible and seeking to encourage sufferers to be able to talk openly about their own Mental Health and break the stigma surrounding it, especially in Churches.
