MAYOR’S RECEPTION: CELEBRATING VOLUNTEERING IN UCKFIELD

Saturday 26th April 2025 – 7:30pm to Midnight

Tickets £25

The Mayor’s Reception – Celebrating Volunteering in Uckfield will be raising money for Wealden Volunteering to support the ‘People Need People’ project, which has been Cllr. Karen Bedwell’s initiative for her Mayoral year of 2024/2025.

The People Need People project aims to strengthen the bond between local volunteer groups, charities and businesses.

Working with and supported by Uckfield Chamber of Commerce and Wealden Volunteering, this initiative encourages charities to seek business support for their practical needs, such as financial advice, marketing strategies or hands-on assistance like decorating and landscaping.

Simultaneously, it motivates businesses to embrace their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by offering their expertise and resources.

By fostering these partnerships, the project not only helps charities thrive but also provides businesses with opportunities to enhance their reputation, boost employee morale and contribute positively to the community.

Together, People Need People aims to make a significant impact and continue to build a strong community in Uckfield.

In celebrating this, the Mayor’s Reception welcomes all members of the town to come along and make a big difference in the community we call home.
