Member Benefits
Joining the Hailsham & District Chamber of Commerce means becoming a member of a supportive business community and makes perfect sense for businesses of all sizes and sectors.
Chamber Hub
As a Chamber member, you can share your news, job vacancies, events and offers right here, and benefit from our busy social media programme that will put everything in front of a ready local audience.
Chamber Meetings
We hold monthly meetings and other networking events throughout the year. Due to the Coronavirus lockdown our meetings are currently being held online.
Hailsham & District Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1984 and exists to support and encourage growth and prosperity within the business community of Hailsham and its environs.
Membership of the Chamber gives you opportunities to network with local organisations and other Chamber members. Out of this networking grow contacts and friendships from which we can all draw benefit.
Through our regular meetings we are able to discuss key issues and concerns which members may have and decide on supportive action. We occasionally have guest speakers in attendance and also maintain strong links with Wealden District Council, Hailsham Town Council, Hailsham Forward, Hailsham Community Safety Action Group and the Hailsham Town Council Youth Project.
As a Chamber we believe it is our responsibility to do everything we can to support our members and to encourage and help local businesses to the best of our ability.
