Jason Sugarman the Conservative parliamentary candidate for the Lewes constituency which includes Seaford attended the cheque presentation at Seaford Constitutional club, last night for the `Seaford Live’ Festival.
`Seaford Live’ is a non profit organisation which raises funds for local charities and worthy causes through the promotion of local music and arts, this year the festival was held in September in venues across Seaford and proved to be even more successful than the previous year raising over £3,600, the charities to benefit are ` The Chestnut tree appeal’ a charity supporting families with sick children, Seaford lifeguards, Seaford Scouts and the Seaford branch of St John’s ambulance.
This adds to the work already achieved by the Festival, last year they raised over £2,400 for Newhaven Lifeboat Comfort Fund, St Wilfrid’s Hospice and Macmillan Nurses’ Local Fund.
Jason Sugarman said ` If it wasn’t for events like the `Seaford Live’ Festival, local charities would really struggle to receive donations, especially in the current economy climate. I am really pleased, that yet again this event has been a great success ’.
