Our street actions are usually at  Bankers Corner, Terminus Road, Eastbourne.

They are always a good opportunity to meet each other and to engage with the public. It also gives us a chance for exposure in the local press.

We usually have good support for our actions, but would welcome any members who would like to take part for a couple of hours.

March, April and May

As a result of the stall we sent a letter to the to the Department of Business,Innovation and Skills You can read this here >

In June our topic was a public opinion poll on military spending and the Millennium Development Goals. You can see a flier for this here >

Members of the public were asked to sign personal letters addressed to the Department of Overseas Development asking how they reconcile the mismatch between the gross level of military spending compared with the comparatively small amount which could transform world health, education and development.
