A GROUP promoting inclusion for special needs and disabled children has been given a £1,400 boost thanks to Christmas shoppers in the Eastbourne Arndale Centre.
Embrace East Sussex has received the money raised from spare coins thrown into the wishing well that was part of the centre’s festive animated display.
The charity, which is Eastbourne-based, also raised an additional £215 by taking part in the Centre’s Win A Car Christmas event.
Centre Manager Bill Plumridge presented Rebecca Whippy, co-founder and chairperson, with a cheque.
The money will go towards a new self-contained suite featuring a sensory room for children with disabilities who do not have access to similar facilities at school.
