We are pleased to announce that Mark Thomas will be joined by Daniel Kitson, Robin Ince, Shazia Mirza, Jay Foreman, MC Tiernan Douieb and Bridget Christie.
Mark Thomas has supported Hastings Furniture Service for over 10 years. He says he loves the furniture service because it makes such a practical difference for people; “Community self-help projects like HFS change the world, one chair at a time”
HFS is a local charity that collects and reuses furniture and electricals to help people furnish and equip their homes affordably; provides training courses and volunteering experience to help people develop skills and confidence; and works with a range of schemes to help people who are resettling after a crisis.
Grab your tickets early to enjoy a great night for a great cause.
This event will raise funds for the HFS starter packs scheme.
HFS starter packs contain essential basic brand new items to help households starting out or starting again with nothing. They provide items such as saucepans, cooking equipment, crockery, cutlery, towels and cleaning items. The packs mean that people can cook, clean and bathe themselves and their children once they are housed. HFS works with organisations like Refuge, Seaview, HARC and Housing teams to make sure the packs help people in need get back on their feet after crises such as homelessness, abuse, institutionalization, and home fires.
