The annual West Sussex service, led Reverend Celia Woodruff, was held at St Mary the Virgin Church in Burpham, near Arundel.

South East Regional Manager Sally Field attended and spoke about the work RABI does. She said: “Things were different from previous years. Due to COVID restrictions the congregation was limited to 30 people, but the service was lovely and the choir sang beautifully.

“Glen and Sandra Tomkins worked hard to sell raffle tickets in the lead up to the service and raised close to £1,000. The prize of a stuffed hamper was won by local farmer Nick Field – my brother!

“A massive thank you to all those involved and for the village for their tremendous support of RABI.“
