An Eastbourne football club has received £500 from the police to buy new equipment and supplies.

The PPAF is made up of money received from the sale of found property and from property confiscated by order of court and then sold.

The spokesperson said the main aim of the fund is to support local projects undertaken by voluntary or charitable organisations that solely benefit the communities of Sussex.
