25th Anniversary Report

Homecall, one of Bexhill's best-loved and vital charities, celebrated it's 25th Anniversary with a special lunch reception at Cooden Beach Sports and Social Club on Thursday 4th March 2010. More than 100 guests attended, including the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex Mr Peter Field and Mrs Field, Bexhill Town Mayor Bridget George, Homecall's Patron Amanda Hamblin, Vice-President's Peggy Walke and John Dowling, Homecall Chairman Robert Hooker along with all Homecall Trustees and the Scheme Manager Jenny Private. Other guests included many of Homecall's visually impaired clients, volunteer visitors and representatives of businesses, organisations, associations, clubs and individuals who have supported Homecall financially or in kind in the past three years since the charity became self funding. The Lord Lieutenant praised the charity and said it was his priviledge to be present to represent Her Majesty the Queen at such a wonderful occasion, adding that the support given to blind and partially sighted people is vital to the fabric of our community.
Our very grateful thanks to everyone who helped make this occasion such a memorable event in Homecall's history.
