Jack Finch chatted to the Edward Thomas fellowship chairman Jeremy Mitchell at Petersfield museum's Edward Thomas Study centre about the war poet's strong ties to the Steep/ Froxfield area and his World War I legacy. With Remembrance Sunday around the corner it felt never more appropriate to hear extracts from his war diaries and a couple of readings of his poems from that time.

Jeremy Mitchell reads extracts of Edward Thomas's war diaries and tells us about his association with the Great War

Homestart Butser and its 80 volunteers supported 263 families and 365 people in the last year.

They raise all their own funds. 

For one week only -  from 3 to 10 December -  every pound donated to them that week  is doubled by another organisation. 

Put the date in the diary; whatever you donate that week (and that week only) is doubled - making your generosity even more valuable to them.

Homestart’s Nicola Winter spoke to Mike Waddington about  the Big Give Challenge and their work across Petersfield and surrounding areas, to give families facing difficulties practical help.
