Members of the Bexhill Chamber Commerce turned out in force to raise thousands of pounds for the Ukraine appeal during a recent curry night.
More than £3,000 was raised from a charity auction and raffle during the evening held at the Shiplu restaurant in London Road.
Chairman of Bexhill Chamber of Commerce, Howard Martin said: “How incredible generous at the people of Bexhill? The situation in Ukraine is of course a very serious matter – but by having fun raising money we are able to help in a small way to ease a little bit of the misery.”
He added: “A massive thank you to everyone who participated, donated and helped raise the money. Special thanks to the Lions for all their incredibly hard work and dedication.”
Visitors were also told about the launch of Bexhill News during the event. Mr Martin informed them of the pending launch of the town’s first, free, community newspaper launching in July.
The exact final amount is expected to be announced soon.
