We have had a lot of people coming in and calling about the news today and we want to thank you all for your concern and support! ♥️

We also want to assure you all that Eastgate Staff are working hard on forward planning a programme that will maintain and improve the Eastgate’s excellent record of stability, alongside managing a busy cafe where turnover shows marked year on year improvement. After several months without focussed fundraising activity we are in the process of submitting a number of grant applications to support the business plan.

We cherish your kind words - please keep supporting in anyway you can.

Lots of love 💕 Eastgate Staff
