A wonderful response from visitors to our fundraising stalls at the Sittingbourne Christmas Lights event. Queues formed down the High Street to buy tickets in hope of being one of the many lucky people to win one of our fabulous, very popular, tombola prizes. Our cake stall proved popular too, selling out by the end of the day. Whilst some of the team were manning the fundraising stalls, others were giving out stickers or supporting the Christmas Lights team as marshals for the event. We were, of course, delighted to have a visit from the Mayor.

Our teams have been out throughout the Fireworks season supporting events in Northiam and Danson along with those at Cornwallis Academy and Leeds Castle, covering a variety of roles from closing roads to ensure the safety of Bonfire Society processions, managing parking and offering assistance to those vehicles which found the muddy car park surfaces too difficult to negotiate or had a flat battery for example.
