West Sussex Housing Society events diary
The excellent ‘Friends of West Sussex Housing Society’ run a number of events through-out the year.
These events are normally at one or other of our houses, though some are outings. These are always great fun for residents, family and staff.
We also have regular seasonal fairs which are open to the public - our residents love meeting new faces so do come along. Another aim of the fairs is to raise money for outings for our residents - so please come and spend freely!
As always we are really grateful to the Friends for all the hard work they put in!
