Run to Run 2025, another great success! Its not too late to donate. Just click on the image below

Run to Run took place on Saturday 31st May 2025 with the mini mile runners starting from 10.30am.

Once again, we had the lovely team from @chaffin_works marshalling the route, along with our brilliant volunteers, so that it was safe with clear routes for runners and supporters.

We had 3 distances on offer: mini mile, 5k and 10k. Our mini mile was perfect for children and families. It was a great way to get up and active on a Saturday morning while also having a lot of fun and supporting a great cause.

The event was another massive success and with your support and donations we will be able to help so many childen along their own personal journeys.

Local News Story

Peter Valentine Aged 101

The Eastbourne District General Hospital

We are privileged not only to acquaint with, but also to be so strongly supported by dedicated fundraiser and war veteran

Peter Valentine. Friends Chairman Harry Walmsley met recently with 101-year-old Peter and his wife Heather, joined by Trust Chairman Steve Phoenix, Trust Chief Executive Jayne Black, and Shaun Crowhurst of Radio DGH, for a chat about Peter’s life and his current fundraising challenge for the Friends of Eastbourne Hospital. At one point recalling the final days of the war, Peter remembered two friends who had been killed in service just two days before the surrender of the German forces which ended hostilities. It was a poignant memory, acknowledging the waste of two young lives so close to peace. Eighty years later, and Peter powers on, never wasting a single minute of the life he feels so lucky to live. He fills it with friends, family, fundraising, walking and church.

Where once Peter’s fundraising challenge had been to raise money for the Friends by walking to the DGH every month of this year, he has now declared that he is aiming beyond this, and will now complete this once-monthly mission for “as long as I live”. As Peter made this statement, he clenched his fist in a fantastic display of determination.

We honour Peter, and all those who served, on the 80th anniversary of the peace they secured

Starting something new like running can feel overwhelming, but that is completely normal. Many people feel this way at first.

The free NHS Couch to 5K programme makes it easier by guiding you from the couch to running 5km in just 9 weeks. Let’s take it one step at a time.

Presenter Kevin Turner from Radio DGH took up the challenge. Kevin said, it took me far longer than 9 weeks and that’s because life brings it’s own challenges. However, this is the amazing thing about the NHS Couch to 5k App as you can start, stop, refresh, go back, or simply pick up from where you left the programme. Theres no competitions, no pressure, you do it at your pace, be determined and you will do it.

Wishing you all the very best in completing the Couch to 5k course.
