On July 14th, the Henfield community will gather to honour the life and legacy of Malcolm Eastwood with a special walk from Henfield Common to Sussex Prairie Gardens. This event celebrates Malcolm’s significant contributions to our local community as a Parish Councillor, District Councillor, and dedicated citizen. His passing is deeply felt by the village, where he was known as a devoted husband, father, and friend to many.
The memorial walks, taking place on the afternoon of July 14th, 2024, will not only commemorate Malcolm’s life but also raise funds for charity. Malcolm was an avid walker, often seen with his energetic dogs exploring the Common, part of the route for this tribute. He played a crucial role in developing documented circular walks throughout Henfield, showcasing the village’s beautiful landscapes and views. This event will be a fitting tribute to a man who had boundless energy and a deep love for the village.
Fundraiser organiser, Gillian Perry said, “brainstrust was chosen because our much-respected Chairman of the Parish Council, Malcolm Eastwood, suffered a rapid decline and passed away due to a brain tumour. His family needed more support at each stage and felt that counselling would have helped. They were recommended brainstrust by a local person whose daughter also died of a brain tumour and spoke very highly of the charity’s work. Malcolm’s family chose Brainstrust because they needed the type of support it offers.”
Join this meaningful walk to celebrate Malcolm Eastwood’s life, support brainstrust, and connect with the community in a place he dearly loved.
