Mid Sussex District Council Chairman announces chosen charity

- 01/07/2025

The new Chairman of Mid Sussex District Council, Councillor Mike Kennedy CBE, has chosen to support Macmillan Cancer Support as his selected charity during his term of office.

The UK’s leading cancer support charity has spent more than 100 years helping people living with cancer. From the moment someone is diagnosed, they are there with information, support and guidance, to help everyone with cancer live life as fully as they can.

The Chairman has been involved with and supported Macmillan for many years, collecting on their behalf across the Mid Sussex area, and engaging with numerous fundraising events. Showing his support for the charity, Councillor Kennedy said:

“I have been hugely impressed by all those I have met whose family, and friends have recounted the wonderful support received from Macmillan nurses. I am also particularly encouraged to know that all the money raised in Sussex stays in the County and is used to support Sussex residents during their cancer journey."

98% of the charity’s income comes from voluntary donations, which are crucial in enabling them to continue to provide essential services, care and guidance.
