High Places Burgess Hill is the latest in a series of £2million improvements at the centre, funded by Mid Sussex District Council and operators Places for People.

Project mobilisation manager Neil Williams has been responsible for overseeing the installation of the colourful climbing walls, which make a big impression on visitors, located just inside the entrance.
