Pssst... have you heard about the Secret Shop?

The Friends of Willingdon Secret Shop are busy organising and wrapping gifts so that children who may not be able to afford presents can still offer gifts to their parents or siblings this Christmas.

The initiative is totally supported by donations from the local community and has been providing Christmas joy for several years now.

The "Friends of Willingdon" are a group of parents/carers/supporters who seek to provide a link between the school, home and community through the organisation of a wide range of events which are not only a great deal of fun and a fantastic way to make new friends but also an opportunity to fundraise for school projects to enhance and enrich all our children's school lives.

Darren Coe, Store Manager at Brewers Eastbourne, has donated £200 to the Friends of Willingdon Secret Shop on behalf of Brewers Decorator Centres to ensure the scheme can continue running.
