Revival Food & Mood
WOW where do we find the words to express how grateful, proud and overwhelmed we are by today. Today showed us the real meaning of community, good people coming together to make things happen and make things better. We cannot express how wonderful our volunteers were today, so positive, so hardworking, so special ♥️And every single visitor who bought a raffle ticket, played tombola, joined the junior bake-off, packed our vastly too small dog show 🐶 arena to celebrate their gorgeous four-legged friends, enjoyed the food, music, dance and more - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting the day and the vital work we do in the community.We are still on a high, what we achieved with our tiny Revival team, made possible by our stupendous volunteers was reflected in the smiles, dances and joy on the faces of everyone there - we did it together, thank you Whitstable 💪🏼💥Special thanks to the organisations and businesses that supported the events and stalls today @rock_paper_scissors_seaglass @copp_erfields @berserkdance @whitstablelions @whitstableseacadets @theoffywhitstable @foodfriendsuk @millieandthetiger Also - be prepared to be spammed with all our photos and videos, they are too good not to keep sharing! #whitstable #revivalfoodandmood #community #grateful #whitstabletogether ...
