Please can those wishing to send Bethesda donations by cheque address these to 'Brighton and Hove Bethesda, 5 Hove Park Gardens, Old Shoreham Road, Hove, BN3 6HN', marked for the attention of Mr. Adrian Pickett. 

The trustees would like to take this opportunity to inform those with an interest in the work and future prosperity of Bethesda of the following:

Adrian Topping

After many years of loyal service, Adrian Topping (General Manager), in the Lord’s purposes, will be taking up new employment within the Christian care sector in October 2025.

Adrian has served Bethesda during a number of challenging times, including the effect of the decline in the GS congregations on occupancy within the Homes, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the wellbeing of residents and staff and sadly, more recently, the closure of both the Studley and Harpenden Bethesda Homes, as well as the Redhill flatlets.

Words cannot fully express Adrian’s contribution and love for the work of Bethesda. We would wish Adrian and his family the Lord’s blessing in the pathway before them.

It is with sadness that we announce that after 56 years of service to the Lord and His people the provision at Bethesda, Harpenden has now closed, with the final resident being safely resettled in the Bethesda Home and Brighton on Wednesday, 13 August.
The building remains open, by appointment, to visitors between the hours of 08:00 and 15:00 Monday to Friday. For appointments please call 01582 761359. 
The Trustees continue to look to the Lord in seeking His will and direction for the future provision of Bethesda to those in old age within the GS chapels.
