The idea
Since EPC employed a Community Facilities Manager in 2017, Eastergate Village Hall has turned into a hub of engagement bringing previously isolated, lonely locals together. 'Nina's Friendly Coffee Morning' every Tuesday has up to 80 regulars. The recent New Year's Day Brunch had 100+. We now need to change our equipment to cater for our ever increasing need. So many neighbours are alone - the simple opportunity to attend a friendly event and to eat with others is so important.
We hope to raise funds to modify our existing kitchen to give more work surface space, replace our electrical domestic style oven and hob with larger models.
We aim to follow in Emsworth and Funtingtons footsteps and hold a Christmas Day lunch. Nobody should be alone on this day of celebration.
What we'll deliver
- Replace the existing kitchen equipment to cater for our increasing Community Events
Why it's a great idea
This project will enable MORE Community Events. Regular Brunches, Pop up Supper Clubs. Even the possibility of a daily Community Cafe.
Steps to get it done
- Purchasing the equipment, having it fitted, announcing the next community event
