Get your holiday gifts early at annual fundraising fair

Elizabeth Finn Care, a charity that helps people in financial need, is hosting its 21st annual October Fair in Sussex on Tuesday, October 15, to raise money for people in the area.

With more than 50 stalls selling everything from food and home produce to clothes, jewellery and silverware, the event offers the perfect chance to do some early Christmas gift shopping.

The Fair, held at The South of England Showground, Ardingly, is organised by Elizabeth Finn Care’s East Sussex Committee.

All money raised through the event will help local people living in financial need.

Matthew Sykes, Chief Executive of Elizabeth Finn Care, said: “The money raised from the October Fair will allow us to help more people in need in Sussex.

“They may be experiencing family breakdown, redundancy, injury or illness.

“A small grant that allows someone to fix their cooker or stay warm in the winter can make all the difference and help them get back on their feet.

“I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone attending this event – every little helps and we greatly appreciate the support.”

Last year the Fair raised around £1,000 and organisers are working hard to make this year’s event even more successful.

The Charity Fair will take place from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

Entrance to the event is £4 and includes a raffle ticket.
