£3,468.46 raised for The Church Street Project!

The 2025 competition was a great success, and we’d like to thank everyone who entered or made a donation.

With 27 entrants and three books of raffle tickets sold, we raised an impressive £568.46.

On top of this, we were delighted to receive a very generous donation of £2,900 from the East Kent Freemasons. Our heartfelt thanks go to them, and especially to their Charity Coordinator, Bob Hadlow, for his support.

Organized by our dedicated trustees, Cath Mison and Shane Record, this event serves a dual purpose: raising vital funds for our charity and increasing awareness of the services we provide.
