Speaking at the popular monthly coffee morning at the Thalia House branch of the Red Cross in London Road, Clive Beale, a voluntary member of the Red Cross Fire Victim Support team, said they are, "desperate" for more volunteers.

Based at Hastings Fire station, Clive said: "We support the East Sussex Fire and Rescue Services, and help anyone who may have been a victim of fire or flooding, or anyone who can't get into their properties and who need shelter, food, clothing and help with insurance claims."
