Held at Adur Recreation Ground on Sunday, September 18, the fun day saw residents, friends and family enjoy a host of free attractions, greatly helped by surprisingly warm weather on the day.

A spokesman for Adur Homes, Adur District Council’s local authority council housing service, said: “The whole day was a huge success.

“Other activities included funfair rides, a foam cannon, face painting and circus skills, among many more.”

There were more than 40 stalls supporting local charities, including 1440 Shoreham Squadron, Air Training Corps, whose and Air Cadets raised hundreds for their group by helping out with the car parking.

The fun day was launched in 2014 to promote wellbeing in the community.

It was designed to give a number of different charities and organisations the chance to set up stalls for fundraising and increasing awareness.
