Horsham pub hailed as 'outstanding fundraising hub'

The Star at Roffey has raised much-needed funds for a number of local charities – including £2,500 for Horsham Matters.

The pub – part of the Craft Union pub chain – is being commended for its efforts which form part of Craft Union’s ‘Make It A Million’ campaign which aims to raise £1 million in charity donations across its band of pubs nationwide.

A Craft Union spokesperson said: “Horsham’s The Star is a local fundraising front-runner and continues to prosper in support of Horsham Matters, amongst a wide range of other charities such as ‘Air Ambulance’, ‘Animal Rescue’ and ‘The Children’s Trust’.

"The pub regularly donates boxes to the local foodbank, actively bringing together members of the community to offer their support. Customers can also enjoy the Star’s popular signature game B’Locks Bingo as part of the weekly fundraising fun, with funds being raised in support of the pub’s chosen causes.

With stalls varying month to month, locals can expect to find a wide range of fantastic arts, crafts and produce items on sale.
