Please speak to Fr John if you are interested and we will get some dates sorted. The Adult sessions are open to everyone – come and have an introductory/refresher course!

Our Nappy & Supplies support for Ukraine

A big thank you to everyone who has continued to donate nappies and supplies for the orphanage in Ukraine.  Please watch the latest update video below that Andrew Wooler posted on YouTube recently.  We ask if you can continue to provide any packs of nappies, (large sizes please) as well as boxes of washing powder, Paracetamol & Ibuprofen. These can be given to Dee Johnson or left at the back of Holy Cross Church.

Old Copies of The Link
Do you have any old copies of our Parish Magazine "The Link" that were printed before 1992?  If you do have any old copies we would love to borrow them so that we can scan a copy to include on our website.  If you can bring them to church and either pass to Simon Tuck or to Dee, they will be returned once scanned. Thank you.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) forms
We are inviting anyone who did not complete one in 2025, along with fairly new people to fill one out (they are available at the back of the Church or on the website here).  Basically, this lets us know what we can contact you about, and how. Please return any forms to Gillian Youngman our Data Protection Officer or put in The Belmont Centre letterbox. Anyone we do not hear from who was on the old list will have their information deleted shortly. Thank you.

170 Years of Holy Cross SchoolHoly Cross Church of England School, Uckfield, closed at the end of the Christmas term in 2023, having served the children in the town for c. 170 years.  To commemorate this event, Bridge Cottage and a group of former staff, parents and governors at the school put together an exhibition in early 2024 showing the life of the school. Following on from the exhibition, a new Booklet has been produced to Celebrate those 170 Years.  This was launched at the Holy Cross Spring Festival in May 2025 and can be purchased for £3 from the Uckfield Heritage Charity Shop or from Bridge Cottage.
