In adition Dawn Bamforth is coming to our June meeting to discuss the proposed Sea Road Surgery closure. This is a great opportunity to have your say about local GP issues.

“Proposal To Close the GP Practice on Sea Road in Bexhill

We also have Dawn Bamforth from NHS Sussex coming to talk to us about the proposed closure of the Sea Road Surgery. The objective is to explain the proposals and obtain members views on this difficult and possibly contentious proposal.



“Though a patient survey has already been completed, a decision on whether to approve this application has been paused until we are able to hear more from local residents about the effect this closure may have on them and whether there are any actions that could be taken to mitigate any negative impact.

Lets talk about Legacies , leaving a small gift in your Will changes lives.

They say you can leave the place you grew up in, but that place will never leave you. A gift in your Will ensures the spirit of your community continues to thrive, helping people to care for each other long into the future.

Deciding who to include in your Will is important – it must be right for you. By leaving a gift in your Will to Bexhill Diabetic Support Group , you help build a future where no one in our communities has to face living with Diabetes alone. Your support creates lasting change and stronger, more caring communities.
