Wheels through the Years- Sunday 8th June
The Weald Club are again holding their Wheels Through the Years show at Fairfield Recreation Ground on Sunday 8th June, 11am – 4pm.
This popular show of classic and prestige vehicles will see hundreds of vehicles over many decades from 1910 to the present. This is their annual fundraiser for SERV, the Sussex volunteer couriers for the NHS.
This event will be great for all the family with a variety of stalls, the model railway and a range of food options with a licenced bar. Entry for visitors and exhibitors is free thanks to sponsorship from their partners Burgess Hill Town Council, Wimpey and Crawley Town FC.
Carers Week- June 9th-15th
Carers Week is an annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges unpaid carers face and recognise the contribution they make to families and communities throughout the UK. It also helps people who don’t think of themselves as having caring responsibilities to identify as carers and access much-needed support.
This year the theme is ‘Caring About Equality‘ highlighting the inequalities faced by unpaid carers, including a greater risk of poverty, social isolation, poor mental and physical health. Far too often, carers of all-ages miss out on opportunities in their education, careers, or personal lives, just because of their caring role. Get involved in Carers Week 2025, and together let’s work towards an equal society, where carers are truly valued, recognised and supported. Carers Week theme – Caring About Equality | Carers Week
Burgess Hill Town Council has long been committed to nurturing community wellbeing, and this extends wholeheartedly to those who take on caring roles. Whether it’s an adult caring for a loved one with health needs or a young person supporting a family member, the Council understands that carers deserve not only recognition but also practical support and moments of respite.
Throughout the year, Burgess Hill Town Council organises and supports a variety of events aimed specifically at carers and young carers in the local area. These events are more than just social gatherings—they are safe, welcoming spaces where carers can connect with others, access valuable resources, and most importantly, feel seen and appreciated. Burgess Hill Town Council holds many events throughout the year specifically for young carers. https://www.burgesshill.gov.uk/town-community/young-carers/
Volunteers Week 2nd-8th June ( Community People)
Volunteers’ Week will take place from Monday, June 2nd to Sunday, June 8th, 2025, in the UK. This week is a national campaign to celebrate and recognize the contributions of volunteers. The week is a long-standing tradition, providing a platform for volunteer-involving organizations to thank and celebrate their volunteers. Community People based in Burgess Hill work across Mid Sussex to bring together and help local voluntary organisations and community groups. They have evolved as a charity through various iterations, locations and name changes. Why not contact them today to see what volunteering opportunities are available and help make a difference in the community. Volunteering – Community People
