Readers will be aware of the business and community links that are central to EYRs ethos and continued success. Each year the project is delighted to welcome new partners and in 2009 these have included Jones Bootmaker, OBC The Accountants, East Sussex Stop Smoking Service, Charles Stanley & Co. Ltd, GAK Education and The Prince's Trust.
As always, the organisers, Eastbourne Education Business Partnership, are grateful to everyone that helped to make EYR happen for the ninth successive year.
In particular, to the lead sponsors The British Wireless for the Blind Fund (www.blind.org.uk ) and The Weather Shop (www.weatherfront.biz), to the schools and colleges for over 55 hours of programmes and finally to Sussex Downs College for giving up studio space.
