Woodlands Meed’s Family Fireworks Night returns to great support from local community

The event organised by The Friends of Woodlands Meed was for the whole community with families and those with special needs in mind.

It was generously supported by the Burgess Hill Mayor, Mr Peter Chapman and community organisations, Burgess Hill Lions and Mid Sussex Radio along with local business Hunters Estate Agents and neighboring secondary school, the Burgess Hill Academy lending their field so that all the fireworks were set up safely away from the crowds watching at Woodlands Meed.

Many people turned up to enjoy a family friendly night out and the fireworks were enjoyed by all, with many saying it was the best display yet.

More than £2000 was raised for Woodlands Meed which will go towards funding equipment and projects at this special needs School and College for children from aged 2 to 19 with special educational needs.

Adam Rowland, Head Teacher at Woodlands Meed School said: “I am delighted so many people came and supported and enjoyed this family fireworks event. We are extremely grateful too for the support of Burgess Hill Lions and the Burgess Hill Academy in helping our Friends of Woodlands Meed volunteers to be able to put on this event.”
