Thank you @rockinghorse67 for hosting an incredible Glitter Ball on Saturday night. This event is the highlight of their fundraising calendar where all the money raised goes to fund incredible projects supporting babies, children, young people and their families throughout Sussex.

We had the pleasure of hosting a group of students from Woodfield Secondary School recently. We had some lovely feedback from their teacher about their time with us: “Thank you so much for our visit – all of your staff were friendly and very accommodating. The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learnt so much about ILG and the roles that staff have. The students came back to school buzzing, with many saying they would really like to work at ILG. We were all so impressed with your company and the way it supports young people with special needs.” Find out more about how we are committed to giving back to our local communities, which includes providing employment opportunities for disadvantaged young people and those with learning challenges in the link in our bio.
