For example, we served a total of 1,109 hot meals, 604 people enjoyed a healthy breakfast and we were able to arrange for 27 people to see a dentist!

Our community service is far from closing.

Secondly, I want to make your readers aware that the Salvation Army in Eastbourne is about to undergo a full review of all our community support.

As we anticipate a post lockdown world, we want to identify what the new needs of the community in Eastbourne are and how might the Salvation Army best work to support the community we love.
