A look back at our Annual Service & Annual General Meeting.

1st Oct 2026

Yesterday, we held our Annual Service and AGM at St Peter and St Paul Parish Church, Rustington, bringing together FSW supporters, trustees, staff and friends to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the year to come.

We enjoyed an uplifting Eucharist and sermon from the Rt Revd Ruth Bushyager, Bishop of Horsham, followed by lunch provided by FSW – including some delicious homemade tarts baked by Martin Auton-Lloyd!

It was lovely to see so many of our supporters and share more about the difference FSW is making for families across Sussex. We also shared our new Impact Report, which will be arriving in supporters’ post soon. It was also great to welcome Cllr Jill Long, Chair of Arun District Council, to the day.

Thank you to Rustington Parish Church and the Arundel and Bognor Deaneries for hosting us, and to everyone who helped make the AGM run smoothly.

It was also wonderful to be joined by our trustees Richard Bickersteth, Lady Soames and Revd David King, as well as Revd Paul Doick, our FSW Chaplain.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all those who continue to support Family Support Work.
