At the beginning of lockdown (I know, it seems like an eternity ago!) we asked people of Lindfield to send in photos of amazing key workers who they know, who are doing amazing jobs at this difficult time in the life of the village/country/world! Of course, we know that NHS workers on the frontline are doing an awesome job under challenging circumstances - and a lot of us will have taken part in the collective applause for them specifically. However, many of us became more aware of care workers, postmen and women, refuse collectors, those in the emergency services, teachers and shopworkers too. Lindfield resident Ali Brown painted a six foot sign to show her appreciation, which stood in her garden for a time and artist Brett Hudson drew a special colouring sheet for children to add the finishing touches to and put on display in their windows. Here we celebrate seven of these superstars in our midst. And to make it even sweeter (literally) at the time Lindfield gift shop Tufnells made up Easter goodie bags for each person, which we delivered over the Easter weekend.

Thank you key workers...

A few weeks ago we asked people of Lindfield to send in photos of amazing key workers who they know, who are doing amazing jobs at this difficult time in the life of the village/country/world! Of course, we know that NHS workers on the frontline are doing an awesome job under challenging circumstances - and a lot of us will have taken part in the collective applause for them specifically. However, we also have to thank the care workers, post men and women, refuse collectors, emergency services, teachers and shop workers.

A little something…

The amazing Lindfield gift shop Tufnells - currently closed - has made up six Easter Gift Bags for these six splendid key workers - and we will do our best to make sure Sarah, Felix, Sarah, Sarah-Louise, Ayshea and Ava get theirs on their doorsteps before Easter! Thank you Tufnells. And thank you ALL KEY WORKERS for keeping us going…



We should thank the many cabin crew that helped repatriate thousands of UK citizens, and many of whom have now taken up jobs at hospitals and supermarkets!

Ali Brown made her appreciation clear!

I would like to say huge THANK YOU to all the businesses especially the shops which have stayed open. I know they have all been working extra hard so that we can still shop safely and locally. I am sure I am not the only person to have asked you this but feel it would be a good moral boost for them if they know the whole community appreciates what they are doing.
