Andrea Januszewska grew
up in Liverpool, and
later lived in London. For
years, she worked in Supported
Housing – with
homeless young people,
offenders, addicts and victims
of domestic violence.
She moved to Lewes in
2008 and, in 2015, became manager of the
Phoenix Centre. ‘Among other things, we
provide support and respite to adults living
with Alzheimer’s, dementia, strokes and
various other age-related challenges.’
WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? I love
meeting friends for a great coffee or
light bite in Trading Post. Erawan is my
favourite restaurant – authentically Thai,
and bring your own beer – though the
benches are a bit harsh past two hours!

WHAT IS YOUR TOP FILM / BOOK?
I love films and Depot is the best addition.
My all-time fave is All about Eve:
I’m a huge Bette Davis fan. I generally
read autobiographies, and loved Clive
James’ Unreliable Memoirs.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TV
SHOW? I’ve seen the whole of Downton
Abbey at least three times! I’m also partial
to Masterchef and The Apprentice.
Join Chelsea Gold-winning designer and TV

WHO IS YOUR HERO? My dad, who
died in 2010. He was Polish, and had an
amazing work ethic. He lost his arm at
work in the early 70s, but never stopped
working or helping others. He was a real
charmer and loved everyone, no matter
their background or circumstances.
