The Quaker-managed Bernhard Baron Cottage Homes is welcoming Local Meetings back to its grounds after celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary late last year. The centre near Eastbourne, Sussex reached its milestone birthday in October 2020, but, with residents divided into two self-contained ‘bubbles’ and no visitors allowed due to lockdown, it was unable to mark the milestone event. A party took place in October 2021 for the summer. A book has been released to mark the occasion.
