Good friends and customers of ours; Mark Liddington and his wife Valerie have organised a charity hike for July this year. They are raising money for the incredible St. Peter and St. James Hospice which means a great deal to them after a dear friend of theirs passed away at the hospice a few years ago.

The fabulous work the hospice carries out and the compassionate care that is given to both the patients and in supporting family and friends is something Mark and Valerie really appreciated during their time there.

You may remember back in February 2016 we sponsored Pevensey and Westham under 12's football team. In May 2017 where they became the under 13's they went on to win the local tournament and here we are again in 2019 with the same team winning the tournament once again. Congratulations to Pevensey and Westham and all the other teams that took part in the tournament.

Great video about the newly created Langney Shed in Langney. It features a few short words form ourselves (Corin Dudley - MD of CDS), Andy Fisher himself and from Stephen Lloyd MP - our Eastbourne MP.

Andy Fisher from AgeConcern Eastbourne has been busy organising the set up of a brand new workshop in the Langney district of Eastbourne.

The new project called Langney Shed can be found in the grounds leading up to the Historic Langney Priory .

Ourselves, CDS Electrical donated one of our skilled electricians to attend and connect up new power and lighting at the shed. Our friends over at Phase Electrical Distributors Ltd donated light fittings and Rexel UK donated other electrical materials required. A great team effort from a lot of local tradesmen.

For more information about the Langney Shed, please head to their official Facebook page.

We recently donated a new Samsung Galaxy tablet to the Emergency Department at the Conquest Hospital in Hastings. We met with Michael Collinson - Paediatric Charge Nurse, Dr Danni Vidler - Consultant in Emergency Medicine and Becky Bell - Matron whilst there and handed over the tablet in their designated children's emergency room.

The tablet has been provided as a distraction tool for children as they undergo medical procedures there at the hospital. Matron - Becky Bell said "We would like to thank CDS Electrical for donating this tablet. We will use it to distract children when we have to undertake tests, procedures or investigations. We know from using our own phones in the past what a difference it will make."

We'd like to say a massive thank-you to everyone who came along to our 2018 @macmillancoffee morning and to those who baked goods. Together, we raised a mouth-watering £300.41. An incredible amount from a bit of tea and cake. A great community effort all round.

On Friday 28th September 2018 from 10am onwards, Corin Dudley Electrical Services Ltd are hosting their annual Macmillan Coffee morning right here at our Polegate offices. Pop on down to Unit F1, Chaucer Business Park, Dittons Road, Polegate, BN26 6QH and tuck into some of the delicious cakes and bakes that will be on sale.

All money raised on the day go to the Macmillan Cancer Support charity. This is our third year in a row we will be having a coffee morning at CDS Electrical. Having raised over £400 already, we are hoping to break £500 with this year's proceeds.

Saturday 8th September saw the 3rd annual CDS Electrical Pier to Pier challenge take place. The 15.2 mile walk that takes you from Eastbourne Pier along the Sussex coastline to Hastings Pier has grown in popularity over the years and this year we were delighted to see over 30 people take part. 

Money is still rolling in, but as of typing this blog post, £1,090 has been raised for Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice and we are confident plenty more is still to come in.

If you would like to help the cause and contribute to our fundraising efforts, please head to our official just giving page: https://justgiving.com/fundraising/cds-p2p-18 . Thank-you.

Take a look below for some of the photos taken at the 2018 Pier to Pier Challenge. The weather was  on our side and there were smiles all round.
