Friends of Eastgate House attend the Rochester Artisan Market

The Friends of Eastgate House attended the Rochester Artisan Market on Saturday 17th April 2021 - re-opening it's fundraising activities for the first time in over a year.

---

Selling a range of pre-owned items, such as jewellery, prints and ceramics close to The French Hospital in Rochester, the Friends raised over £100 on their stall, surpassing expectations. 

Like many small voluntary organisations, Covid-19 has impacted greatly on the Friends of Eastgate House fundraising activities. Over the year, we have missed out on potential income of around £1,200 as a result of the cancellation of events, such as the Rochester Dickens Festival. 

We are planning more fundraising events as we cautiously come out of the lockdown. 

​If you would like to join us, volunteer for our fundraising events or would like to make a donation for one of our stalls, please get in touch by email info@eastgatehouse.org.
