WORTHING & DISTRICT EDWARDIAN CLUB

The club incorporates a charitable trust, registered charity no. 1001200. We meet at Sompting Village Hall on the 2^nd Wednesday evening in each month and are seeking new members.

The Edwardians have for over 30 years raised money for local charities by operating a concert party which rehearses at the Hall and travels almost anywhere to provide shows for the elderly and disabled and takes paid bookings from commercial ventures. Charities to benefit from our efforts include Guide Dogs for the Blind, Ferring Country Centre and St Barnabas Hospice/Chestnut Tree House. Apart from minimal expenses all monies raised are distributed to local charities and needy individuals, totalling around £120,000 over the last 30 years. The Club has twice been honoured by Worthing Borough Council in recognition of its charity work in the local community.

We appeared at Harewood Court, Hove in aid of little Jessica Cannons, who had cancer and heart problems. We raised over £300 for her, including a collection from a local church. We decided to buy a wheelchair to help her get around.

“We like what we do to help just a few.”
