The Falscification of Science – A talk by John Hamer at HOPE Sussex Community Sunday 1st December 2024
Join us on Sunday 1st December at HOPE for a talk by John Hamer, author of the Falsification of History, who will be talking about the Falsification of Science.
“As is the case with history, science has also been falsified for millennia in order to benefit those in power and to perpetuate their insidious agenda. What I refer to as the ‘three pillars of fake science,’ the theory of evolution, the big bang ‘theory’ and the globe Earth psy-op have long been the cornerstones of the false reality in which we all live. This presentation will dissect and demolish all three of those truly absurd contentions and detail how and why the ‘powers that shouldn’t be’ use this falsification of science to deceive and control us all.” John Hamer
We will also have the lovely Trevor John performing his music. Lunch and refreshments will be available in the Hub.

Tania Edwards
Tania Edwards is a stand up comedian who was a finalist in the Hackney Empire, Amused Moose, Leicester Square, Latitude and Funny Women competitions.
After winning the Amused Moose Comedy Award for best show at the Edinburgh Festival, which led to a run at London’s Soho Theatre, her jokes were selected as Best of the Edinburgh Festival in The Evening Standard, The Telegraph and The Mirror.
Regularly appearing at major comedy clubs across the country, Tania’s jokes have featured on a number of topical comedy shows including Mock the Week (BBC Two), Stand Up For The Week (Channel 4), Twit of the Year (Channel 4) and The Unbelievable Truth (BBC Radio 4).
“outrageous humour… Tania Edwards has mastered her craft” Ed Fest Mag
“brilliantly dark jokes” Voice
“sharp and savage wit” The Sunday Post
“effortless comic genius” Funny Women
Aidan Killian
Aidan Killian is a spirited, charismatic and passionate comedian who left a corporate banking job to save the world, one endorphin at a time. He has performed his unique comedy style for 7 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals and was a ‘highlight’ at Glastonbury Festival 2016 and 2017. In 2017 he was nominated for Best Comedian at The World Fringe and has been sharing laughter on stages all over the world since.
“hysterical, passionate, driven intelligence” – Chortle
“Killian is a comedian of equivalent talent to Tiernan, but a generation behind. He speaks fluidly to those who have awoken and crossed the line that separates the Matrix from reality” – John Waters
Trevor John
Funny man Trevor John is a firm favourite at HOPE and first took the mic at HOPE’s Comedy Night in February 2024.
Wordsmith and singer songwriter Trevor John has taken many twists and turns. He has had a shop on Carnaby Street, a publishing company, worked as a copywriter, voice artist, animator and is an award winning short film composer.
As an illustrator he has worked for many major publishers and brands including BBC, Saachi & Saachi and Sainsburys. His drawings for M&S Nightwear outsold Disney and made it onto Eastenders. After a few years working with Kraft and Aardman creating the Dairylea Cow, the corporate world was losing its appeal and he took a sabbatical, picked up his neglected guitar and spent two years in his garden learning every song he ever loved, found a beautifully eccentric Irish diva of a vocal coach and began performing as a singer songwriter. His work can be raw and emotional or sharp and satirical. Sometimes both. His love of words is always evident.
“The last few years, with the eye opening revelations of the hypnotism we have all been living through, have provided plenty of material. It’s still a journey. Sometimes angry and political, but increasingly towards connection, healing, nature and the spiritual” Trevor John
Trevor will be performing his music on the night too.

MEET OUR GUESTS
Matt Le Tissier
Matt Le Tissier is a football legend who had the type of successful career anyone with his jaw dropping talent should have. BUT, all that changed 5 years ago when his critical thinking and courage to speak out got him cancelled. Hear his journey and exactly what it has been like for him to be one of the only sportsmen to keep their integrity and speak out about the truth!
Bob Moran
Bob Moran is an award winning cartoonist and illustrator. He has drawn for many publications, most notably as lead political cartoonist for The Telegraph, where he worked for ten years. Today, bob is best known for the cartoons he produced during the ”pandemic”.
Unlike most of his peers, Bob used his public platform to expose the moral flaws and contradictions in the government measures subsequently implemented. Some people hated this; others loved it. His stand attracted an international audience, and his original artworks are now highly sought after.
Bob is delighted to present and sign his new book, meet and greet, and deliver an exclusive Cartoon Workshop for Hope Sussex.
Jake Fern
Jake’s work dried up at the start of the madness in 2020 and that gave him the push to become a professional artist after years of on/off painting.
Within a year he’d been accepted into the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour annual exhibition where he sold his first portrait.
Since then he’s moved to oil paint and worked steadily, producing commissions and personal work, one of which was accepted into the Royal Society of Portrait Artists exhibition 2024.
In summer 2024 Jake interviewed and painted Mad Mick as the first sitter in a series that was then called ‘Paint Talks’. This evolved into ‘A Thousand Words’ when Resistance GB became partners in the show.
Since then Jake has interviewed and painted David Icke, Kate Shemirani, Matt Le Tissier, Jacqui Deevoy, Bob Moran, Robin Monotti, Richard Vobes and Piers Corbyn.
This event is more than just an evening of talks, it’s a celebration of courage, creativity and truth. Whether you’re here for the inspiring stories, the powerful artwork or simply to connect with like minded souls, you won’t want to miss this gathering at HOPE. Secure your tickets now and be part of a day filled with insight, art and meaningful conversation.

Andrew Lawrence is bringing his brand new stand up comedy show “Still on the naughty step!” to Hope Sussex on 3rd May.
This will be a sell out so be sure to get your tickets early.
GET YOUR TICKETS HERE
Viral YouTube comedy phenomenon, Andrew Lawrence, takes his hard-edged satire on the road.
The ‘Live at the Apollo’, multiple award-winning stand-up star, has spent twenty years touring comedy clubs and festivals around the world, honing his craft to perfection.
Having been ‘cancelled’ twice for his unflinching, uproarious political humour, Andrew Lawrence has come back stronger each time, unstoppable in the face of censorship, selling out venues wherever he goes.
Now at the top of his game, following on from the huge success of his online videos- where he relentlessly pokes fun at Britain’s clown show political establishment- Andrew Lawrence is bringing his funniest show yet around the UK, a night of guaranteed belly laughs from one of this country’s very best comedians.
“Master of dark humour and a political provocateur” – British Comedy Guide
“Andrew Lawrence is superbly intelligent, highly articulate and deeply sour” – The Spectator
“His show is funny. Lawrence’s material is dark and deeply self-deprecating, bitter and somehow managing to be both biting and tongue in cheek, which is difficult to do without drawing blood.”-The Scotsman
Tickets: £20
7.30pm doors for a show starting at 8.30pm
Refreshments available in The Hub at HOPE (cash only)
GET YOUR TICKETS HERE

The film, three years in the making, tells the incredible story of the secret Spitfires through the testimonies of surviving workers and eyewitnesses for the very first time. It also features unique archive footage and images never seen before.
“They built thousands of Spitfires, hidden in garages, bus depots, sheds and barns … but nobody ever knew.”

Bowler Hat Farmer Talk Saturday 7th June
2025-06-07 13:00 - 17:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Fork The System: A Talk by Mark Byford, the Bowler Hat Farmer on Saturday 7th June at HOPE Sussex
Join us at HOPE for an eye-opening talk with Mark Byford on his Fork The System UK Tour, discussing why we need to support our farmers or risk losing them forever and he will be bringing his tour to HOPE!
With over 40 years of farming experience, Mark has seen firsthand the alarming decline of our food system. From plummeting food quality to the increasing pressure on farmers, his message is clear: we must act now to support those who grow our food or risk losing them forever.
Driven by a deep sense of responsibility for future generations, Mark is travelling the country to raise awareness, share hard truths, and ignite change. This is not just a talk, it’s a wake-up call.
Doors open: 1:00pm (for a healthy organic lunch in the Hub – cash only)
Talk begins: 2:30pm
Tickets:
£8 for HOPE Members
£10 for Non-Members
Come, connect, and be part of the movement to reclaim our food and our future.
About Mark
For the past 40 years, I’ve witnessed the steady decline of our food supply chain, both locally and globally. Food quality has plummeted, and education about what we eat has been stripped away.
Meanwhile, farmers, growers, and producers are constantly burdened with distractions, keeping them too busy to fight back as they’re pushed to the brink.
Now, as we enter 2025, I feel a deep responsibility to protect my children and grandchildren from this broken system. It’s time to take a stand.
That’s why I’m hitting the road on my Fork The System tour—to share my knowledge, raise awareness, and connect with those who see the bigger picture.”
About the Tour
“People often ask me, “Mark, why, at 57 years old, would you want to go out on a UK tour?”
The answer is simple. Every day I witness the ongoing destruction of our food supply chain—both locally and globally.
We are at a critical turning point. If we don’t take a stand now, in just 18 months, we may reach the point of no return.
If we do nothing—and by we, I mean all of us — our children and grandchildren could be left with nothing to eat. At best, they’ll be forced to survive on lab-grown meat or maggots. At worst, there will be nothing at all.” Mark Byford

Jol Rose
Jol Rose is a Swindon-based singer-songwriter with London roots, known for his raw blend of Americana acoustic folk performed everywhere from moving trains to remote Pacific islands. His debut album My Nebraska (2019) was recorded at Swindon’s Earthworm Studios, combining stateside influences with a homegrown sense of desolation. In 2020, he self-produced Welcome to Zombieland from his box room, weaving together themes of fake news, dystopia, and fractured dreams. His third album, Peace Love Americana, expanded his sound with contributions from long-time collaborator Rachael Birkin on fiddle, pedal steel player Holly Carter, keyboardist Jon Buckett, and other talented musicians.
Jol’s forthcoming album Liars & Thieves is set for release in early 2025, with the first single – including the title track and Palestine, Free – launched in summer 2024. Over the years, Jol has toured extensively, including multiple trips across Germany and Holland and a tour along England’s south coast. Whether through lockdowns or live gigs, he’s kept the music moving – often in his trusty Corsa – forging new friendships and sharing his heartfelt, sharply observant songs along the way.
Peter Trott
Peter Trott is a singer-songwriter and pianist from Kent who has been performing since 1988, both in bands and as a solo artist since 2008. With decades of experience on stage, he brings a rich musicality and passion to every performance.
Peter’s repertoire spans an impressive range of popular music from the 1960s to today, covering legendary artists such as The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Fleetwood Mac, ELO, Supertramp, The Police, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Robbie Williams, and Kings of Leon.

Build Back Better Bodies Workshops with Kate Shemirani Sunday 13th July 2025
2025-07-13 12:00 - 17:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Build Back Better Bodies Workshops with Kate Shemirani
6 WORKSHOPS to help you be the healthiest version of yourself you can be!
WORKSHOP DATES:
9th February – Fabulous Fats
Are all fats created equal? Absolutely not!
The membranes of our cells are made from the fats that we eat. The GOOD fats will pull oxygen to the cell. And the BAD fats are going to repel it away from the cell and set up a fire….INFLAMMATION.
Right there is pain, suffering and the beginning of cellular dysfunction and all disease!
So GOOD fats are essential for our cell membranes and overall health.
Why do you need to learn more? It is simple! When we understand, we are more likely to implement changes in our own diet and that of our families.
Do you want to be the best version of yourself and full of vitality?
9th March – Let There Be Light
Natural light is a fundamental component of overall health and well-being. It plays a crucial role in vitamin D synthesis, circadian rhythm regulation, and and making chemicals within the body that cannot be made any other way. Lack of natural light will lead to disease. But not all light is created equal.
Blue light is dangerous and harmful to the body and we are being exposed to blue light everywhere all day and all night.

Blue light from LED screens, street lights, car lights, home lights disrupt sleep , suppresses melatonin, leads to obesity and metabolic disorders, causes eye strain, retinal damage, macular degeneration, metabolic issues, skin aging, and mental health concerns.

So why are we having all incandescent lights replaced with LED and during daylight hours too if it will destroy us? What should we do?

Regain your health and vitality with Kate Shemirani.

20th April – Is Carnivore and Keto a Death Sentence?
The ketogenic (keto) diet and plant-based diet are two popular approaches to nutrition, each with strong advocates and critics.
The keto diet emphasizes high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbohydrate intake, which forces the body into ketosis, burning fat for energy instead of glucose. Supporters argue this can lead to rapid weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, and better brain function. However, critics warn of potential risks, including nutrient deficiencies, increased LDL cholesterol, and potential strain on the kidneys and liver.
On the other hand, a plant-based diet, which focuses on fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while minimizing or eliminating animal products, is praised for reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. It provides high fiber and essential phytonutrients that support overall health. Yet, opponents argue that plant-based diets may lead to protein, B12, iron, and omega-3 deficiencies if not carefully planned.
We are discussing these diets because they represent two vastly different nutritional philosophies that claim to optimize health. Some individuals thrive on one while struggling on the other, raising questions about personalised nutrition.
Both can restore health when properly structured but may also contribute to disease if unbalanced or lacking key nutrients.
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each allows for informed choices tailored to individual health needs.
This discussion is essential in navigating dietary trends and ensuring long-term well-being through informed decisions rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
11th May – Sexual Healing
Let’s Talk About What You’re Not Talking About
Is the spark gone? Libido on holiday? Painful sex, low drive, or the dreaded ‘not tonight’? Newsflash: it’s not just “getting older” – it’s your body begging for attention! In this juicy session, Kate dives deep (but tastefully!) into why sex shouldn’t hurt, disappear, or become a memory. From hormone disruption to hidden toxicity, it’s time to reclaim your pleasure and vitality. Your ancestors were having babies at 85 – what’s your excuse?

8th June – Your Body is Talking! Are you Listening?
Rashes, reflux, fatigue, weird tingles, and moods that swing harder than the 70s disco scene – your body’s not broken, it’s just trying to talk. Before you rush off for the 57th scan and another test with a name longer than your arm, come learn what your symptoms are really saying. Because the truth is: the healing starts long before the doctor’s office – if you know how to read the signs.
13th July – Dr Thyself! The Home Medicine Cabinet
You Are the Medicine
Forget the prescription pad and the side-effect roulette. It’s time to dust off the ancient wisdom – plants, food, detox, movement, breath, and yes, even a little faith. Kate will take you on a journey of DIY healing where Big Pharma takes a back seat and Mother Nature rides shotgun. This is medicine without a marketing team – and it actually works.

About Andrew
Politics Is No Longer About Right And Left
It's About Right And Wrong
As the former Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire from 2010 to 2024, I dedicated my career to serving the people with unwavering commitment. For most of my tenure, I represented the Conservative and Unionist Party, guided by my lifelong belief in low taxes, minimal government interference, and individual freedom to enable people to achieve their dreams and full potential. I have always maintained that the state’s role should be limited to providing a safe environment, secure borders, and efficient public services, allowing the people to thrive.
The Conservatives actions squandered billions of public funding and opened our borders to unchecked illegal immigration, funded by ever-increasing taxes reek of socialism. Their policies, driven by a bizarre groupthink, justify excessive regulation and taxation that threaten our way of life.
Voting for them is no different from supporting Labour, whose leadership is equally as catastrophic.
I now proudly stand as an Independent. A choice I embrace, as the Conservative Party has abandoned the values I cherish. They have imposed the highest tax burden since World War II, confined people to their homes for months in the early 2020s under bureaucratic directives, and coerced unwanted medical interventions, including MRNA gene therapies.
While in Parliament, I exposed the dangers of these horrific therapies and fought tirelessly to protect the vulnerable, successfully halting their administration to healthy children under five. I continue to campaign for the suspension of these treatments in both humans and animals.
My principles remain steadfast and I feel I deeply alarmed that the leadership of all the major political parties, including Nigel Farage’s Reform, are shackled to the World Economic Forum’s Agenda 2030. Nigel’s grip on Reform is now swinging swiftly to the left, aligning with the newest iteration of the old regime, betraying the hopes of those who sought a true alternative.
As a servant of the People of Great Britain’s, I stand resolute against betrayal, global greed, and corruption. I am unwavering in my commitment to defending freedom of speech and securing our borders against illegal entry without exception. I continue to champion the vulnerable, giving a voice to those who need it most, and I will not rest in my pursuit of justice and truth.
This fight transcends traditional right-versus-left politics—it is a battle of right versus wrong. I remain dedicated to fighting for a free, secure, and prosperous Britain, where the people’s voices are heard, and their rights are upheld.
Controlled by nobody. Representing everybody.

This monthly meet-up is more than just an activity day, it’s a chance to reconnect with true masculinity, strength, courage and self-discipline in a world that increasingly seeks to undermine these values.

They want us sick, shameful, scared, powerless and brainwashed with lies about ourselves, our history, our culture, our future and the world around us.
Real Men Rise will begin the process of healing, rebuilding and returning back to us the true value of being a man.
What to Expect
• Outdoor activities designed to build strength, confidence and camaraderie
• A focus on respect, encouragement and self-mastery
• A full day immersed in nature, regardless of the weather
• A space for men of all abilities to grow together

Electroculture Educational and Practical Workshop Saturday 7th March 2026
2026-03-07 10:00 - 18:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Electroculture Educational Two-Part Workshop Saturday 7th March 2026.
Online theory will be live on Feb 25th 6pm to 9pm, recording available and emailed to all attendees.
Step into this two-part theoretical and practical workshop designed and led from the experts who have immersed themselves in the practical, real-world application of Electroculture.
This workshop brings together the most impactful insights, refined methods, and proven approaches developed through extensive hands-on experience and continuous learning.
You will learn that Electroculture is NOT a copper wire wrapped around a stick and in fact brings in the all-important and missing top soil electro-magnetic field. Life in the top soil won’t be maintained without an electro-magnetic field to enable its self-regeneration. Think of it like the Schumann resonance equivalent but for the soil.
Electroculture is 100% complimentary to other natural gardening/farming methods such as Biodynamics, Permaculture, Hugelkultur (mound culture).
You’ll gain clear, structured guidance so that you can correctly install Electroculture yourself. Expect a workshop that blends strategic understanding with practical tools you can apply immediately-whether you’re an experienced grower or just starting out.
Participants consistently describe this learning experience as focused, engaging, and transformative with insights into the importance of additional complimentary subjects such as Geotherapy, Sacred Geometry and ways to help improve your soil, all of which will benefit your Electroculture installation.
To maintain a high-quality, interactive environment, spaces are intentionally limited. If you’re ready to learn from experts who have deeply studied this field and know how to translate that knowledge into meaningful results, secure your place today.
Itinerary
Wednesday 25th February 6pm to 9pm – Online via Zoom
Part 1: ZOOM EDUCATIONAL THEORY LESSON (recording available)
Saturday 7th March 10am to 4pm – Hands on Practical at HOPE (nb: Sunday open once Saturday is fully booked).

About Electroculture
Electroculture is the understanding and application of the Earth’s natural electrical, magnetic and atmospheric energies to support plant growth, soil vitality and ecosystem balance.
Long before chemical fertilisers and industrial agriculture, farmers, scientists and inventors observed that plants respond profoundly to subtle energetic forces. From atmospheric electricity and telluric currents to cosmic and solar influences, life on Earth has always grown in relationship with invisible yet measurable energies.
Electroculture draws upon ancient agricultural wisdom and documented scientific experimentation, including patented technologies from the 18th and 19th centuries that demonstrated increased yields, stronger plants, improved resilience to pests and disease, and enhanced soil fertility — all without synthetic inputs.
At its core, electroculture works by:
Harnessing atmospheric electricity and natural electromagnetic fields
Enhancing mineral uptake and nutrient availability within the soil
Stimulating beneficial microbial life and root systems
Supporting plants’ natural ability to self-regulate, adapt and thrive
Rather than forcing growth, electroculture restores balance — activating the soil as a living, intelligent system. When electrical and energetic flows are harmonised, plants grow with greater vitality, deeper roots, stronger immune responses and improved flavour, nutrition and yield.
Modern electroculture integrates these time-tested principles with accessible materials and contemporary understanding, making it practical for home growers, market gardeners and regenerative land projects alike. It offers a powerful alternative to chemical dependency, aligning food production with natural law rather than industrial control.
Electroculture is not a trick, a gadget, or a single technique — it is a relationship with the living Earth. One that invites us to listen, observe and work with nature’s intelligence rather than against it.

Book Signing
Richard’s new book Biggleswick: The Town That Wouldn’t Comply will be available to purchase on the day for £18, and there will be an opportunity to have your copy personally signed by Richard.
Biggleswick: The Town That Wouldn’t Comply
Faced with a plethora of anti-human policies metered out by a tyrannical town council, the people of the English market town of Biggleswick, come together to work out how they might tackle the ongoing erosion of their rights and the escalating surveillance and interference in their lives. When a travelling truth teller delivers a compelling speech at the community theatre, the locals are roused into action to devise a plan to reclaim their town’s authority and reject the accepted diktats that both the government and the local councillors insist are a necessary sacrifice for the sustainability of not only their town, but the world as a whole.
While this is a novel and all characters and organisations fictitious, with any similarity to those with the same name purely coincidental, the story mirrors the crisis of today. For authority’s continual encroachment into people’s lives has made life a struggle for many. Common sense and critical thinking is desperately lacking. Where, for example, is the logic in attributing swaths of agricultural land for solar panels one the one hand and then experimenting with sun-dimming technology to fend off man-made global warming on the other?
The author sincerely believes that should one town be brave enough to stand up against the these absurd ideas and damaging policies, assert their authority to the public servants, then with the rest of the world watching via social media, others might follow, instigating a huge change for the betterment of mankind.

Across the weekend at Gathering of the Mavericks, hosted at HOPE Sussex, children of all ages—from little ones through to teens—will be immersed in a rich variety of fun, creative, and empowering activities designed to spark curiosity, connection, and confidence.
From hands-on arts and crafts, storytelling, and interactive learning sessions, to sports games, foraging adventures, and engaging Weird Science experiments, there’s something for every young explorer.
Children and teens will also have the opportunity to share their voices in education round tables, connect more deeply with nature, and take part in high-energy activities such as gel blasting and tug of war.
As the day draws to a close, the experience continues with memorable evening fire performances.
This is a nurturing space where young people can learn, play, express themselves, and thrive—while being part of a like-minded, heart-led community.

Andrew Lawrence Comedy Night Friday 29th May 2026
2026-05-29 18:30 - 22:00 | HOPE Sussex Community, Ivyland farm, Netherfield Road, Netherfield, Battle, Hastings, East Sussex, TN33 9QB, United Kingdom
Andrew Lawrence is bringing his hilariously hard edged satirical comedy to HOPE again on Friday 29th May!
This will be a sell out so be sure to get your tickets early.
Andrew Lawrence Hope Sussex – Friday 29th May
Viral YouTube comedy phenomenon, Andrew Lawrence, takes his hard-edged satire on the road.
The ‘Live at the Apollo’, multiple award-winning stand-up star, has spent twenty years touring comedy clubs and festivals around the world, honing his craft to perfection.
Having been ‘cancelled’ twice for his unflinching, uproarious political humour, Andrew Lawrence has come back stronger each time, unstoppable in the face of censorship, selling out venues wherever he goes.
Now at the top of his game, following on from the huge success of his online videos- where he relentlessly pokes fun at Britain’s clown show political establishment- Andrew Lawrence is bringing his funniest show yet around the UK, a night of guaranteed belly laughs from one of this country’s very best comedians.
“Master of dark humour and a political provocateur” – British Comedy Guide
“Andrew Lawrence is superbly intelligent, highly articulate and deeply sour” – The Spectator
“His show is funny. Lawrence’s material is dark and deeply self-deprecating, bitter and somehow managing to be both biting and tongue in cheek, which is difficult to do without drawing blood.”-The Scotsman
Tickets: £18
6.30pm doors open for refreshments available in The Hub at HOPE (cash only)
7.30pm doors for a show starting at 8.30pm

Adrian's Sponsored Walk for HOPE Sunday 31st May 2026
2026-05-31 08:00 - 20:00 | East Sussex
Adrian’s Sponsored Walk for HOPE Sunday 31st May 2026, from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier. Join us for a powerful and heartfelt coastal walk in support of HOPE.
On Sunday 31st May, we’ll be walking 15.2 miles from Hastings Pier to Eastbourne Pier, coming together as a community to raise funds for the expansion of the HOPE Hub. We’ll meet at the front of Hastings Pier at 8:00am, setting off at 8:30am, with support stops along the route every 5 miles to keep everyone encouraged and energised.
This walk has been lovingly inspired by Adrian, a deeply valued member of the HOPE community. Despite facing ongoing health challenges, including recurrent brain tumours and extensive treatment, Adrian’s focus has remained on giving back. His strength, courage and generosity are truly humbling, and this walk is a reflection of that spirit.
Our collective goal is to raise £5,000, which will go directly towards extending the HOPE Hub — supporting home educating families and strengthening a space that brings people together. The Hub is a welcoming meeting place for connection, learning and community, and this expansion will allow us to continue growing and creating a space for everyone to enjoy.
Get involved – walk with us!
We invite you to take part in this meaningful day by joining the walk and gathering sponsorship from friends, family and your wider network. Every step you take and every pound you raise will make a real difference.

Fergus is also a mental health advocate, supporting CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) through his music and events.
No Hat for Jo
No Hat For Jo create their own brand of “piffle”, a punky skiffle blending acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and musical saw with a modern folk edge. Their original songs are raw, witty and rooted in the realities of being human in changing times.
Led by songwriter Alf Wiltshire’s gravelled vocals and presence, with Pete Arciero’s charismatic banjo and offbeat sounds, the duo deliver energetic, feel-good performances that don’t take themselves too seriously and remind you how fun live music should be. No Hat for Jo will be performing at our music festival this year too!
Please Support HOPE
HOPE Sussex Community is a truly special place and your support helps keep it alive and thriving.
Every penny we raise goes straight back into this grassroots project, ensuring it remains a safe, inspiring and nurturing space for families and children to grow, learn and connect.
Thank you.
