    Story

    PHAKE AND FONEY - Fire completely destroys small family business.

    On Wednesday morning (12th July 2017) my parents received a call explaining the workshop and warehouse where they've based their small theatrical supplies business, was in flames.

    By the time the fire had been put out, it was apparent that everything had been lost - the vast collection of antiques, historic collectibles and valuable tools our dad has bought, inherited and made over the last 50 years were all burned and destroyed.

    This devastating fire has wiped out over 5 decades of collecting and proudly owning some unique and spectacular items from Grandfather Clocks to Bakelite Phones to War memorabilia - everything has been lost.

    This is a small, family business that has supplied items to schools and amateur theatre groups in Surrey and across the UK.

    My sister and I will do whatever it takes to try and make this awful situation better, and would be so grateful for any help in doing so, any donation would be so gratefully received so I can help my parents start to rebuild the business they have so tragically lost.

      We would like to say that we are overwhelmed by the support that so many have shown. There are many worthy causes out there and that you have taken the trouble to donate is especially humbling. We have lost a lot but still consider ourselves fortunate that we have had the privilege of working with and knowing so many amazing people who have allowed us to indulge our passion for hoarding and making. A heartfelt THANK YOU from Chris & Angie.

      Thank you so much for your very kind donation Elaine Burns of the Nomad Theatre. We are hoping to restock some of the tools essential to Phake and Foney's work. Any contributions towards tools old or new would be very gratefully received. A list is being put together of some of the essential tools required so that Phake and Foney can pick itself back up and continue to be creative. If you or anyone you know has anything you no longer need and are happy to donate, it would be very much apricoated. Thank you again for your generosity!
