It has been a difficult Christmas for those forced to flee their homes in the October floods.

But thanks to volunteer workers, fund-raisers for the Lewes Flood Appeal and local businesses, there has been a helping hand from the community.

A concert arranged by the Lewes Flood Aftercare Group with Sixties singer Don Patridge is just one of the events arranged to show that when a community experiences disaster, help is on hand from those who care about the plight of fellow locals.
