Midhurst Rother College

Community Day

The rain stayed away when Midhurst Rother College recently held their Community Day. The annual event, which aims to bring the local community together, showcases a wide variety of clubs, organisations, charities and local businesses which contribute to the communityspirit inandaroundtheMidhurstarea. This was particularly needed this year, following the recent fire in the town which has impactedso negatively on businesses North Street and the surrounding roads. The event brought people into Midhurst not only to the event, but also meant visitors could take the time to supporttheshopsintown.

Entertainment was provided by young buskers from the MRC Music Department, who were raising funds for new instruments. Midhurst Foodbank, Midhurst Community Hub, UK Harvest, and WSCC Waste Prevention Team were on hand to advise and help people in thistime offinancialhardship. With over 50 businesses agencies and groups taking part, there was an array of lifestyle, leisure and fitness, fun family activities, local artists, creators and makers plus delicious food and drink. It was all locally produced, locally grown, local people, eco-friendly, sustainable, renewable, recycled or recyclable, reflecting on the event’s evolution, over the years, from the MRC Sustainability Day.
