Hastings Sierra Leone Friendship Link hold fund raiser to help provide clean water

The event takes place at St Paul’s School, Horntye Road, St Leonards, on Friday September 21 at 7pm.

The Hastings Sierra Leone Friendship Link connects the peoples of Hastings, UK and Hastings, Sierra Leone to promote reconstruction and friendship.

It raises money through events and donations to help rebuild Hastings, Sierra Leone following its devastation in 1997 during Sierra Leone’s Rebel War. The Link also promotes official twinning, informal exchanges and school-to-school links.

The Quiz promises to be fun and not too complicated with picture rounds, music clips, and categories including pop, music from the shows, and light classical.

The cost is £5 per person for tables of four - six people. To book call Robin on 01424 436603 or email to [email protected].
