Neighbours in Shoreham have been brought together through lockdown, thanks to a kind family who wanted to build on the community spirit in their road.

David Illman and his wife Alessandra have been helping Connaught Avenue residents in various ways, including shopping for food, setting up a plant stall, lending books and raising money for Shoreham Foodbank.

Alessandra said: “David wanted to start a WhatsApp group, as we are a friendly road, but he felt there may be quite a lot of people who may struggle to get food, etc., if they had to self-isolate and during lockdown.

“We didn’t expect it to take off as well as it has and it’s really brought together the whole road.”
