Commercial Friends
Here are some of our commercial Friends, who through their generosity have helped us with financial donations, providing plants/trees, agricultural hardware and even volunteers. Without their help and generosity we would not have been able to accomplish what we have achieved so far...

2011 saw the replacement of a gas main through the village, which necessitated the closure of Eyhorne Street for a number of weeks. Southern Gas Networks compensated effected businesses, and in addition as a goodwill gesture to the village, made a sizable donation to the Hollingbourne Meadows Trust. This was presented at the 2011 Village Fete.
