The Mary How Trust for Cancer Prevention.

Following Mary How’s death from bowel cancer, the Trust was formed in 1988 by her husband and GP. Their goal: to make health screening available to men and women from all walks of life, regardless of their ability to pay. Today, they undertake over 1000 screenings each year. They receive no funding from the NHS. Their screening rooms and our charity shop are in Pulborough, West Sussex, BUT you do not have to live in West Sussex to book an appointment – everyone is welcome!

They hold regular events around the area including their excellent monthly film nights.

West Chiltington Jazz Club

The club has been running for six successful seasons with almost every show a complete 'sell-out'. The bands come from all over the U.K. and the music is New Orleans, Dixieland and all forms of 'Trad Jazz'. The Club is non-profit making with all the officers giving their services free. Profits are donated to local charities and amenities.

The venue for our shows is the West Chiltington Village Hall with a performance on the first Tuesday of every month, each season starting in October and running through to July.

The seating is cabaret style at tables and a licenced bar operates throughout the show. The club is not only hugely popular with our regular audience but with all the visiting bands; many claiming it to be the best venue on the national circuit.
