Maria Caulfield MP has presented a cheque to the Beachy Head Chaplaincy during East Dean & Friston Cricket Club’s Family Games Day.
The event, organised to raise funds for Beachy Head Chaplaincy saw a multitude of free sporting and traditional activities, a live World Cup (India vs Australia) cricket game on the new pavilion TV, lots of food and drink and an all-round family-oriented day for the local community. Maria Caulfield took part in the Haggis Hurling Competition throwing the haggis an impressive 12 metres.
Beachy Head Chaplaincy is a charity working in crisis intervention and suicide prevention at Beachy Head, including trained crisis intervention search and rescue volunteers who patrol Beachy Head and respond to emergency calls to locate people at risk.
Maria Caulfield MP said “I’d like to thank East Dean & Friston Cricket Club for organising such a fun day for the local community all in aid of such a great and important charity, Beachy Head Chaplaincy. It was a pleasure to have been able to present the cheque to Beachy Head Chaplaincy on behalf of East Dean & Friston Cricket Club’s Chairman Gaurav Bijlani.”
