Healthy Support from Primary Care Trust
Thanks to the PCT Health Improvement Partnership, ECCN received a grant to encourage healthy eating to
improve mental health and well being. ECCN Chair Urszula Tompsett said, " Our Toddler Dance and Activity
group will benefit greatly from receiving information and will enjoy sampling the healthy snacks on offer."
The sessions are being held at the Russell Centre, WRVS, Hyde Road in the town centre from 4pm to 5pm
every Monday from 11th January to the end of February. The sessions will also feature a Polish Folk Dancing
class by a qualified teacher. Cost is £1.50 per family. For more information please phone 01323 735772
Winter Party
Thank you to everyone who came along to our Winter Party on Saturday 12th December. We had a lot of
festive fun with food, games and Gingerbread decorating for the kids. We even had a very special visitor -
Father Christmas - who managed to find time during his busiest period to pop in and distibute a few presents.
Black History Month
We’d like to thank everyone who joined in our Black History Month celebrations on 31st October. The event
held at The Pier Hotel was the first official Black History Month event ever held in Eastbourne and we were
thrilled to see so many people there. The day involved fantastic performances from Ratton School and our
own ECADO drummers as well as a fashion show of ethnic clothing and streetwear curtesy of Marcy’s Crib. A
variety of African food was generously supplied by guests and there were informative presentations on Black
History and other cultural issues.
