Stebbing and Flitch Green residents have been taking action in memory of Captain Sir Thomas Moore.
One school child has raised more than £1,000, others have been colouring in pictures for a window display and are planning a memorial bench.
Freddie Munson, nine, ran 100 laps in a week around Stebbing Playing Fields and has raised £1,150 for the NHS.
Freddie, who is in year five at Stebbing Primary School, did so as part of a challenge set up by assistant headteacher Tom Le Masurier.
