Fundraising toward our £15,000 target has brought lots of letters from people and cash donations in memory of their loved ones, some with war-time experience. Others are from Hastings people who just want to help restore this old lady, with the memory net going ever further afield.

We are working toward 2017 for her completion.

Any donations can be sent to the Treasurer, 4 All Saints Street, Hastings, TN35 5PD or at the Santander Bank. Account number 49444310, Sort Code 09-01-28.

Collecting boxes are also available at most Old Town pubs.
