MNDA West Sussex South Branch - Family Fun Day
Judith Allen, Worthing
Join us for our 5th Family Fun Day on Sunday 5th July — a brilliant day out for all ages!
Get ready for a packed day of excitement. Children can bounce, jump and play to their hearts’ content with the bouncy castle, bungee trampoline, face painting, games and plenty more.
Grown‑ups are in for a treat too, with delicious food vans, refreshments, live music, artisan stalls, classic cars, American trucks, chopper bikes, and a whole range of attractions to explore.
We’ll also be hosting a children’s competition with fantastic family prizes — a lovely highlight of the day.
Most importantly, every moment of fun helps make a real difference.
As a volunteer‑run charity, we rely on events like this to support people in our community living with motor neurone disease. It costs over £40,000 each year to run our branch, and your generosity helps us provide vital equipment not readily available through the NHS. We also fund taxi transport for hospital visits, respite breaks, days out, and therapeutic activities such as massage and art sessions — anything that brings comfort, dignity and a better quality of life to those affected by MND.
