From producing patient information, introducing new standards of care, purchasing innovative medical equipment and a long list of community-based projects.
They have worked tirelessly to raise funds to help ensure that the journey cardiac patients undertake through hospital and their recovery is as efficient and effective as possible.
Over the years they have helped install over 300 life-saving Automated External Defibrillators across both East and West Sussex. These devices safeguard lives and give the best chance of survival after a Sudden Cardiac Arrest.

Newhaven, Lewes, & District Mencap have been supporting local people with learning disabilities since 1975. Support is provided for over 100 members and their families and volunteers. Their aim is to improve the quality of life of people with learning disabilities.
The name MENCAP is well established, but it is a little known fact that locally they have to be funded entirely from our own local fund raising activities. Kind donations are made by generous residents of the Newhaven, Peacehaven Seaford and Lewes. Also much effort is also put in by our volunteers who give their time to help the members, and to help organise events to raise much needed funds for them.
