Hastings Round Table, is a social group for young men who are proud to assist charities through their local fundraising events, such as the annual Beer and Music Festival.

Carole Dixon commented: “The Education Futures Trust works with children, families and vulnerable adults to improve their life chances.

“One of our strengths is the work that we do outdoors, and the contribution from the Round Table will provide us with the tools for our newly trained forest school leader, James. This funding will purchase equipment such as a kelly kettle, secateurs, laplanders, bow saws, fire steels and compasses to name but a few items.

“In the coming year, James will be supporting children and young people who are at risk of exclusion, as well as working with our vulnerable adults and clearing The Firs site with local businesses. With his new kit, James will make a difference to our children, adults and the local community.”
