Christmas is a time for caring, sharing and surprises.

Out of the blue, a Pringles box containing more than £200 arrived at Brighthelm this week, a truly generous donation to our Sunday drop-in and one that arrived just as we were beginning to wonder how we could supplement our funds.

The young people at the East Brighton College of Media Arts sponsored their teacher, Vasco Menezes, if he guaranteed to shave his head completely.

He did and they did. Thank you, Whitehawk.
