Update

Hello again from the fundraising team.  Still seems that we’re reeling from the success of the Christmas Coffee morning - monies raised so far by the raffle is £762 bringing the total for Christmas Fair to £1,550.  Well done everyone and a BIG THANK YOU. 

Our coffee morning on Saturday, 9^th February was a ‘massive bric-a-brac & book sale’ in addition to our usual stalls.  An all-out effort enabled us to get all our stock to a venue and offer items for sale that had not previously been seen. The morning was extremely successful – with people queuing out the door at the start – raising just over £560.  This represents a tremendous start to the fundraising year. 

On Saturday, 8^th March there will be our Easter Coffee Morning at Adastra Hall, from 10 am til 12 noon and we look forward to seeing everyone there.  Stalls include: homemade cakes & jams, bric-a-brac, books, doggie things (including beds, towels & food etc) and raffle.  Hopefully we will be enjoying some nice warm spring weather and much less rain! 

We are looking for a new Head of Fundraising as I retire in May this year.  This opportunity entails organising and booking events, arranging 5 coffee mornings per year in local halls, one dog show, a Christmas fair and grand raffle; write up details of fundraising events for our twice yearly newsletter and an article once a month in a local community magazine.  Ideally the person (or couple) would be computer literate.  We are also seeking any additional volunteers in our local area to help us transport items to and from the coffee mornings.  Please don’t feel obliged to stay to help at the coffee morning although that would be great if you could but not essential.  The community of Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint have been so kind in donating items for us to sell but the time has now come where we can’t actually get all our stock to a coffee morning due the lack of transport.  Please do call Gina Price to have a chat on 01444 230658.   

Thank you so much again for your support. Take care, regards, Gina Price & all the fundraising team.
