Target Hit

We are delighted to confirm that we have now hit our fundraising target of £85,000 needed to save Fulking Village Hall!
It’s incredible to think that in only 9 months, our community & friends have come together and raised so much money and we would like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us reach our target.
Whether you attended one of our events, bought raffle tickets, made a donation or your company has become a sponsor, we would like to give a heartfelt thanks to the whole community and beyond who have made this dream a reality!

New Year Bin Collection

For most of the village it looks as if the next bin collection day is this Friday 2nd January, and it will be food waste only.
After that, the next collection will be on Wednesday 7th January and that will be Food, Recycling and Landfill.
However it’s worth double checking on the MSDC website here.

Village Hall Appeal Update

What a year it’s been for Fulking!
Following a community consultation in January, we launched a bid to raise a daunting £85,000 to save our village hall. There followed a year-long programme of fundraising events, from Seedling Sunday, Farm Open Day and the Wimbledon Garden Party to the Charity Cricket Match, Ceilidh and Call My Bluff.
The Shepherd and Dog came up trumps with a £1 voluntary donation on every table, raising an incredible £4,000 to date, and most recently Sally Gunnell’s quiz at Preston Nomads raised over £3,600.
Still to come are the Fulking Xmas Party on Dec 12 and a Champagne Music Night on Dec 13.

The good news is that with £80,000 in the pot, we’ve very nearly made it, and the hall purchase is going ahead as we write. An enormous and heartfelt thank-you to everyone for your incredible generosity and support.

The even better news is that the whole community has come together behind the project as never before! Any surplus funds will go to hall improvement.
