#Eastbourne Santa Sleigh is just about to head out (14 December at 6.45pm) for roughly an hour and a half or so to Langney Point, Sovereign Harbour South area! 🎅🎅🎅

@999HoveRoedean @EastSussexFRS @WestSussexFire Impressive group of new firefighters who will soon put their skils to work in the safeguarding of others. Significant credit to the instructors that have clearly invested significant time and effort in the running of a high quality course. Well done all.

This Remembrance Sunday, we remember and honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We have attended local events and the Cenotaph to pay our respects. #NeverForget

@CFOESFRS @WFSUK1 Richly deserved as Dawn's contribution to fostering inclusive workplaces where difference is seen for the value it brings has postively impacted many over the years. Congratulations Dawn.

Careful not to lose your footing on your waterside stroll or run. Riverbanks and coastal paths can be unstable. Stick to proper pathways and keep clear of the edge.

@mattylloyd1925 @dougmarshall8 @999HoveRoedean A genuine privilege to spend the evening with one of our most respected watch managers who was a key leader that helped shape the ways of working in the city all those years ago which I will always be grateful for. A genuine authentic manager who will missed greatly. TY Graham.

@CFOESFRS @dougmarshall8 @mattylloyd1925 @Pastie1976 @Al_Probyn @HeForShe .....And action we are taking and will continue to take as we want an inclusive environment for all our work colleagues to thrive in and we acknowledge we need to think differently through raising awareness of the experiences of others and then doing the obvious and decent thing.

[Mark Matthews @mark_esf]
