Summer Edition

Summer is in full swing and I hope you are enjoying this glorious weather.

The summer is always a sign that the bonfire season is just around the corner! Whilst we tend to think of the season being in October and November, our hard working members start our night’s preparation mid to the end of August.

We have a couple of events to look forward too before then starting with the Fete on 13 July. This takes place at the Recreation Ground from 12pm onwards.

There is so much to do at the Fete which includes a children’s fun fair, vintage tractors, stalls, live music, tug of war, refreshments and lots more! If any members are able to help on the day even if for a short period, please contact Jen on 07581001936.

Everything crossed that the weather fairies are kind and we have a glorious day!

Please do keep an eye on our socials for more details on the above events as well as future events too.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and hopefully see you at the Fete!

Edition 1

Newick Bonfire Society is proud that 100% of the money collected in the street collection buckets on Newick Bonfire night is donated to local charities and good causes! Over the last 10 years alone, this equates to just over £ 35,000 ! 🎉

In this edition, we say thank you from Chailey Heritage Foundation

“Your donations have helped change a child’s life. Chailey Heritage foundation is your local charity, here for children and young people living with complex disabilities. Your donations have helped more children like Malachi to take their first steps, or to whizz around the playground, to communicate with their loved ones and to simply enjoy being a child.

At Chailey Heritage, we believe every young person — no matter the challenges they face — deserves the chance to grow, to choose, and to thrive. Empowering independence and nurturing possibility is at the heart of everything we do.

It can feel overwhelming and isolating for a family living with complex disabilities. Our outstanding school, welcoming residential homes and bustling centre create a thriving community of support for children and their families.

Thank you for being the difference and changing a child’s life.”
