Fundraising Success at Folkington Manor
£18,000 was raised towards the work of the Sussex Heritage Trust, at the fundraising dinner at Folkington Manor on Friday, 20th October 2023.
Dr Harry and Mrs Jacquie Brunjes, the owners of Folkington Manor opened their family home to host the evening. There were many highlights from Sir Nicholas Coleridge’s entertaining and insightful speech about his time in Sussex as a boy, to reflecting on his time at the Victoria and Albert Museum, as he retires as Chairman to take on the Chairmanship at Historic Royal Palaces to a lively auction with The Reverend Rupert Toovey.
Speaking about the event, Chairman of the Trust, David Cowan said “we are overwhelmed by the incredible support we received at our fundraising dinner at Folkington Manor. The funds raised will enable us to continue our important work to protect and preserve the built and natural heritage of Sussex. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our sponsors, donors and guests at the dinner for their immense generosity and in particular, Dr Harry and Mrs Jacquie Brünjes for opening their home to us.”
Thank you to all supporters of the dinner: Gaby Hardwicke Solicitors, NFU Mutual Chichester and Horsham Agencies, Everflyht and South Downs Water.
