ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP OF ST NICHOLAS (FSN)

Beginnings:
FSN was established as a registered charity in 1939 through the efforts of its founder Father Mellor. Its purpose was to retain and develop homes for boys and later girls whose parents for various reasons were unable to look after them. From 1939 until late 1985 FSN continued this work in its homes based in Hastings and St. Leonards. Staff lived with the children sometimes bringing them up alongside their own children.

From 1985 FSN moved away from running children’s homes and responded to new needs and by developing a range of community based services.

Celebrations:
In 1999 FSN celebrated its Diamond Jubilee year by completing on the purchase and refurbishing of the St. Nicholas Centre which is now it's registered office. From this secure base FSN has grown to be leading provider in Hastings and St Leonards for family support work. In 2009 FSN celebrated 70 years of serving children and families by hosting a 70th Birthday Party in its grounds with stalls depicting the toys, music and dress from the 30's to the 200's.
