Parfitt Cresswell Proud to Sponsor St Peter & St James Hospice’s Shine Bright 2026
Parfitt Cresswell (Parfitt Cresswell – Uckfield & Colemans – Haywards Heath) is delighted to announce that the firm will be one of the sponsors for St Peter & St James Hospice’s Shine Bright 2026 event, taking place on Saturday 17th October 2026 in Lindfield.
Shine Bright is a much-loved illuminated in-memory walk, bringing the local community together for an evening of remembrance, reflection and support. The 2026 event will begin at Lindfield Primary Academy, with attendees arriving from 4pm before setting off at 7pm on a 3k route through the historic village of Lindfield, enjoying live music, light displays and performers along the way.
The Hospice plays an invaluable role across Mid Sussex and the surrounding areas, providing expert and compassionate care to adults living with life-limiting illness, as well as support for their families, friends and loved ones. Its work touches many people across our local communities, and Shine Bright offers a meaningful opportunity to celebrate that care while raising vital funds for the Hospice’s ongoing services.
Parfitt Cresswell has enjoyed a positive and valued working relationship with St Peter & St James Hospice over a number of years. Our teams share a commitment to supporting local people with care, sensitivity and professionalism, often at some of life’s most important and difficult moments. We are therefore especially pleased to support an event that reflects many of the values we hold as a firm: community, compassion, trust and practical support.
Commenting on the sponsorship, Ashley Burgess-Payne, Director & Head of Business Development and Marketing at Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors, said: “St Peter & St James Hospice has been supporting local families with exceptional care, compassion and dignity for many years, and we are incredibly proud to have such a longstanding relationship with the Hospice and its wonderful team.
“The support they provide to our community during some of life's most difficult moments is truly invaluable, and their commitment to helping patients and families goes far beyond what many people see day to day. We are delighted to be sponsoring Shine Bright 2026 as a small way of showing our appreciation and support for the remarkable work they do.
“Relationship Fundraising Manager, Becky Stevens and her team invest an enormous amount of time, energy and passion into creating an event that brings people together to remember loved ones, celebrate life, and strengthen community spirit, all whilst raising vital funds for an outstanding cause.
“It is a privilege for Parfitt Cresswell to play a part in supporting both the Hospice and this special event. We are very much looking forward to joining everyone on the evening and sharing what promises to be a memorable and uplifting occasion.”
Members of the Parfitt Cresswell team will be present on the evening to support the event and welcome attendees. Further details about our involvement will be shared in the run-up to October.
