Celebrating our first birthday in Rustington
Come and join us on Saturday
We will be celebrating our first birthday in Rustington with a fundraising fete and open day on Saturday September 7 from 12 – 4pm at our centre in Sea Lane, Rustington.
The fete will have something for everyone, and a lot of activity is planned. Members of the public will be able to see inside the centre, as well as walk around the gardens and enjoy a wide selection of stalls.
Fundraising stalls include fete classics such as a bottle stall, tombola and a raffle, as well as cakes, chutneys made by volunteers, and crafts made by blind veterans. Refreshments will also be available from our sausage sizzle stall and an ice cream van. Those wanting to have a bit of fun can indulge in the totally unique blind veteran human fruit machine, a coconut shy and a bouncy castle.
Generous Donations
Tammy Fleming, Centre Community Engagement Co-ordinator and fete organiser, said: "The support of the local business and community who have come forward with donations and vouchers for our fundraising activities has been absolutely amazing. It has really been incredible, and we have some wonderful prizes to share at the fete."
"We rely on fundraising to support for our blind veterans that live and visit our Centre, so this generosity is especially touching. Please do come to the Centre on the 7th September – we would love to see you, show you around and share some fundraising fun with you."
