North Street, Hailsham Hailsham Trust purchased 28 North Street (formerly Ellis Domestics) early in 2005, with the help of funding from South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) and Wealden District Council. As with Prospects House a complete refurbishment was carried out, turning an old building into light and airy accommodation. Eastbourne and County Healthcare Trust managed an art gallery 'Express Yourself', displaying and selling artwork by local artists and people who have experienced mental health issues. The shop opened in July 2005 and was run as a social enterprise, so any profits made are re-invested into the business. Due to the project success in 2006, Kenny MacKay and his team have now relocated to bigger premises in Hailsham.
