FISHBOURNE JUBILEE FUND

Following the appeal for funds the organisers would like to thank the local businesses, residents and party-goers for their generosity which has resulted in the cost of the new seat being met in full and also provided for two £500 donations to charity.

The Fund is to remain open and will be used in the future for similar events.
