Innovative Fundraising
Helen Gibbons and her civil partner Brian Roberts, raised funds for CHSOS earlier this year, through requesting their civil ceremony guests to give money to charitable causes, rather than buying them any presents. CHSOS was one of three charities supported, representing their love for this part of the Sussex coastline and its iconic cultural and environmental significance. While visiting the cottages with a couple of their friends/guests, they enjoyed a sumptuous tea with Daniel Martin at the Cuckmere Haven Coastguard Cottages.
We thank Helen and Brian, and all their guests who contributed for their generosity.
