Sussex Signs Charity of the Year

Rockinghorse childrens charity nurse and baby

We are thrilled to announce our charity of the year for 2024 is the Rockinghorse Children's Charity.

At the Sussex Sign Company, we believe in making a difference and giving back to the community. In 2023, we supported the WOLO Foundation and raised £1,736. We continue to support this local charity through the WOLO 100 Membership.

There are so many brilliant charities undertaking amazing work, that it is always a difficult choice. Over the 28 years we have been in business, we have supported many different charities including The Children's Respite Trust and Guide Dogs for the Blind. This year, we are focusing on a local charity that makes a huge difference in the lives of babies, children, young adults and their families. The Rockinghorse Children's Charity stood out to us for its incredible work improving the lives of sick children throughout Sussex.
