Hi, my name's Charlotte and I live in Pevensey Bay! My aim with this is to rent Ocean View Bakery under a community group for the community. It is a lot of money for us to get together but I believe there are enough people that we can do this. The funds will pay for the first year of rent.
The aim would be to keep it as a bakery selling amazing cakes and breads but to also open it up to the whole community with spaces for groups and workshops to be run.
The garden would be a tranquil space for people to sit but also to learn to garden, build bug houses, house bees and be a safe place for children and grown ups to run around.
Workshops and groups would be by donation only to open it up for anyone to afford to do free/cheap classes. All would be welcome and ideas for new projects/workshops would be considered.
As sad as it is to see the bakery go I would love for it to stay open and belong to the community so please, even if it's £1 I would love to see us be able to buy this as a community.
The bakery is £33,000 pa, the rest of the donations upto £45,000 will go towards any admin fees to rent the bakery and for opening costs
