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."

Truly scrumptious, utterly divine, moist - just some of the words and phrases thrown around on the morning of our 2018 coffee morning in support of Macmillan Cancer Support Charity. Take a look below at the delicious cakes and bakes that were on offer.

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.

Keep an eye out on our next blog post for a gallery showcasing the delicious cakes and bakes we had on offer.

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.

From scrumptious clotted cream and strawberry jam scones to chocolate chip and almond oat cookies, and from mouth-watering sausage rolls to vegan flapjacks, we have it all.

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.

On Friday 28th September 2018, Corin Dudley Electrical Services Ltd will be hosting a Macmillan Coffee Morning for another year running. Last year was a great success and we are happy to announce we have a couple of new members of staff who have joined the company and are looking forward to baking a wide selection of cakes and bakes for you to tuck into.

A morning of eating cake, drinking tea (or coffee if you'd prefer), having a natter whilst also helping out a great charity by raising vital funds. 

Head on down to Unit F1, Chaucer Business Park, Dittons Road, Polegate, BN26 6QH on Friday 28th September at 10am. We will be hosting the coffee morning until 12noon, so plenty of time to try a wedge of our award winning victoria sponge, or a slice of our zesty lemon drizzle bake.

On Sunday 8th July 2018, 12 members of staff from CDS Electrical headed up to Dorking in Surrey to take part in the 2018 Operation Mud in aid of Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice. We took part last year and really enjoyed it so naturally we were very excited to hear it was returning for a second year. 

We wanted to look our best on the course despite the inevitability of being covered in mud from head to toe. Camouflage vests, headbands and war paint. Perfect.
​

It was a great event and well organised by Chestnut Tree House. We were the largest team there with twelve participants and collectively raised hundreds of pounds for the charity. We are already looking forward to next year.

Operation Mud which takes place on the 8th July 2018 is a charity event organised by Chestnut Tree House themselves to try and raise as much money as possible for their great causes.

CDS Electrical took part in the event last year with a team of eight and they enjoyed the event so much that we decided to take part again this year with an even bigger team. On July 8th, twelve, yes 12 members of staff from CDS Electrical will be making their way to Henfold Lakes in Dorking for #OperationMUD.

On Friday 29th September 2017, CDS Electrical hosted a Macmillan Coffee Morning at the main offices in Polegate. The event was a great success with a wide selection of cakes and bakes on offer thanks to the members of staff who brought them in. 

As we mentioned in a previous blog post, the 3 hour long cake sale managed to raise a tasty £141 for the Macmillan Cancer Trust.  We hosted a coffee morning last year and raised a scrumptious £258 for Macmillan,  bringing our total raised across the two coffee mornings to £399. 

Thank-you to everyone who baked a cake or purchased one on the day. Together we have made a great contribution to the charity.  Take a look below at the official certificate we have now received from the Macmillan Cancer Support charity.
