Remembrance Sunday 2026 volunteers needed
We’re looking ahead to this year’s Remembrance Sunday commemorations on 8 November and are inviting local residents to help us ensure the day is inclusive, meaningful and well organised. We are seeking volunteer marshals and general helpers to support the parade and assist with the smooth running of activities on the day. Details of the parade and wider arrangements will be shared soon, as the community comes together to remember all those affected by war and conflict. Last year around 100 people attended, and with the support of local community groups and residents we expect a much larger gathering this year. The last Census recorded 297 Hassocks residents as UK armed forces veterans, with many more local families connected to military service or experiences of war and conflict. If you think you can help, please contact Louise Coles at office@hassocks-pc.gov.uk
Garden of Remembrance volunteers
Our dedicated group of volunteers meet at Adastra Park’s Garden of Remembrance every Tuesday (1.30pm, weather permitting), and they’re always looking for new helpers. A particularly special thanks is owed to the team for their hard work during the recent heatwave, which has contributed so much to the Garden of Remembrance remaining a cool and pleasant refuge for park visitors.
