Story

Thank you so much for visiting our JustGiving page on behalf of the Fort Amherst Heritage Trust. We are a dedicated team passionate about preserving this historic site for future generations to enjoy. Currently, the amphitheatre and allotment toilets are out of order, and we urgently need your support to restore these essential facilities.

Your contribution will directly help us raise £1,000 to bring these vital amenities back to life. This restoration is not just about repairs; it’s about ensuring that every visitor can experience Fort Amherst comfortably and safely, especially during special events like the Proms where we have arranged alternative facilities temporarily.

Donating through JustGiving is quick, secure, and efficient—your generosity will go straight to the cause without delay or extra costs. Please join us in this important mission by making a donation today. Together, we can keep Fort Amherst welcoming and vibrant for all who visit. Every pound brings us closer to our goal and makes a lasting difference.
