Burgess Hill Town Council’s Helppoint has been given a makeover to provide better facilities and an enhanced shop window for local small businesses by offering an affordable platform to sell and promote their products.  The Helppoint continues to provide help and information for residents and and surgeries, including for Council Tax and Housing Benefit, Jobcentre Plus and local councillors – see the website or phone 01444 247726 for more details.

Burgess Hill Town Council’s new look Help Point was officially unveiled on 13 November 2021 celebrating its 25th Anniversary of being open to the public.  Burgess Hill Town Council’s Mayor Anne Eves initiated the proceedings with a speech detailing the history of the Help Point; its working partnerships with Sussex Police and Job Centre Plus, alongside the addition of a public terminal computer and said that “this marks an exciting era for the Help Point.”

Leader of the Council, Robert Eggleston said “The Burgess Hill Help Point has been a great asset for the town for twenty-five years but we recognised that there was a changing pattern of usage and so we decided to broaden its scope by bringing in more technology to support resident’s needs and provide more help remotely. We also wanted to create a shop front for our many excellent local craft and artisan businesses to help them grow and prosper, as well as supporting the wider town centre economy.”
