Foresters Friendly Society

Foresters Friendly Society is local branch and the benevolent side of the Foresters Friendly Society, covering the areas from Rye, across to Peacehaven and up to Hailsham. Each year the society fundraises for two local charities which are chosen by society members plus a national charity which is chosen by the president of the society. Foresters Friendly Society has recently presented cheques to The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team and Embrace East Sussex, each for £770. The society raises money by holding socials, coffee mornings, lunches, quizzes, raffles, etc. Members also completed a virtual sponsored walk around the UK, where some of the group recorded how far they had walked each day, and also plotted the journey around the UK which provided monthly updates to members showing them how far around the country they had walked. The money raised was given to Rays of Sunshine and the society has just presented a cheque to the charity for £1,780.48. Since Lockdown it has been a struggle for the society to continue fundraising safely, but some members have come up with brilliant ideas, such as making scrubs for hospitals and nursing homes, and making masks which members have been buying for a donation. Others have knitted Teddy Doctors and Rabbit Nurses, which are also being sold for a donation, and a doll in a carry basket with a selection of clothes has been raffled off for a draw at £1 a ticket.
