Throughout August, Community Rail representatives and Dr Sarah Jacques from the Sussex Outreach support worked together to bring combined services to the rural railway stations on the 1066 line from Hastings to Tonbridge.
Over 3, two night sessions, the “One You” staff were present at Robertsbridge, Etchingham and Battle Railway stations. The latter two had the benefit of the One You vehicle (Colin) where they were able to undertake numerous health checks for 9 local residents and commuters. At all three sites they were supported by the services of the Citizens Advice and East Sussex Recovery Assist.
This was the first of many sessions to be planned by the partnership who are hoping to bring numerous outreach services to rural communities using station spaces.
“A valuable addition to the station” Cllr Vikki Cook, Battle
“When are you coming back?” local resident.
