Hoppers Hospital is a historic building set in Five Oak Green, Kent, dating back to 1600's. Recently, during Storm Ciara and without warning, flood waters entered the building causing major damage to the flooring, walls, furniture and outside areas. Unfortunately the water was contaminated with oil, so wherever the water flowed, the oil went too. As a charity we rely on the income of groups coming to stay at Hoppers and until the refurbishment is complete we cannot have group or families use the facilities. The work required to bring Hoppers back to a habitable state is likely to take up to 6 months. What we really need to protect Hoppers for the future is some decent flood defence and that is what we are fundraising for.
