This is some of the ways our members raise money. Some do sponsored events, where other members put money in the poly pot at coffee mornings, as tea and coffee this is free they donate to the charity.

East kent D.A also raises money by doing a Camping equipment auction at our Bonfire weekend meet. If any body would like to donate to the charity they can do so by sending their donations to Doreen Pilbeam our Secretary or see her on site at any of our meetings.
