Celebrating success at Chichester Gala and Petworth Fete

We are thrilled to share the wonderful news of our recent participation in the Chichester Gala and Petworth Fete. Both events were a resounding success, and we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from our community.

Chichester Gala

At the Chichester Gala, we had an amazing time connecting with our community, raising awareness about our mission, and enjoying the wonderful atmosphere. Thanks to your generosity, we raised an impressive £1566.44! This incredible amount will go a long way in supporting our efforts to provide essential services and support to those in need within the Chichester District.

Petworth Fete

The Petworth Fete was equally fantastic, with great activities and enthusiastic participation from everyone who attended. We raised £944.20, every contribution makes a significant impact on our work. We extend a special thank you to the Petworth Fete organisers for giving us a free stand, which helped us maximise our fundraising efforts.
